I have this:

while (<IN>) {
    chomp;
    next if /^#/;
    # do stuff
    }


It skips to the next item in the while loop of the string begins with
# and works fine.  I would also like to skip to the next item in the
loop if the string contains anything other then lowercase,
underscores, numbers, dashes, periods, and spaces.  I do not want
uppercase characters and any sort of other special characters.  How
would I do that?
