You need to be more careful with regexes (any regexes). Your character
class matches if any character in the string matches, so 'd' satisfies it
and the rest of the string is ignored. If you want to ensure *no* character
matches, then say so:
pyanfar Z$ 6 'if "dgm" ~~ /^<[d..z]-[gm]>*$/ {say "y"} else {say "n"}'
n
