TL;DR: the core of your program may be rewritten as...

print "My hero! You've actually entered<$user_input>, which is an

Hope this'll be helpful. )
Negative numbers aside, it seems more straightforward to insist that
there are no non-digit numbers in the input, hence
if ( $number !~ /[^0-9]/ ) {
print "Your number: $number\n"
}
or
unless ( $number =~ /[^0-9]/ ) {
print "Your number: $number\n"
}
or even
unless ( $number =~ /\D/ ) {
print "Your number: $number\n"
}
(/\D/ being the inverse of /\d/)
