In Perl, I would not use regular expressions for this at all, but a
hash:
(equivalent of)
var hash = {V30000: true, B47242:true, V54000:true};
function checkValid(value)
{
return hash[value];
}
(or 'return hash[value] == true' if you're picky).
This is a good idea in Perl because the language is optimised for
accessing hash values: I don't know how true that is in javascript.
