Equally dirty, but possibly more flexible:   $_='aSdFgHjk';    # Letters to look for. $alpha1=lc(join('',sort(split(//;   $LS_Val=shift; $LS_Val=~s/^-//g;   # Drop preceding dashes   $alpha2=lc(join('',sort(split(//,$LS_Val;   if ($alpha1 eq $alpha2) {print "Pattern found!\n";}

It looks like you may be doing standard command line option parsing (or almost standard as the '--' prefix is reserved for long option names). If this is so, look at GetOpt::Std . For a subroutine that does what you specified (tested): sub is_DTG_Option ($) { my $opt = shift; return 0

Wow... looks like some good replies to this one. Here's a less elegant, recursive approach (until I learn map :-) #!perl -w # print all 720 permutations using letters: e m v q g n use strict; sub mutate { my ($in) = @_; if (length($in) == 6) { print "$in\n"; $in = ''; } else {

Here is another variation...   #!/usr/bin/perl   check('-mevqgn');check('-memqgn');check('-ngmevq');check('--meqvgn');   sub check{    my $LS_Val = shift;       if ($LS_Val =~ /-{1,2}([mevqgn]{6})/ and unique_chars($1)) {    print "Ding Ding! $LS_Val is good!\n";    }    else {    pr

Have you tried playing around with character sets? Something like $target = 'mevqgn'; $length_target = length $target; if ( $LS_Val =~ /-{1,2}[$target]{$length_target}/ ) { #do something } Whether the above would work for you would depend on whether the code can ignore positive matches on $LS_

    I wanted to use tr but was uanble to accomplish the task that way. So I used regex like the following:   use strict;   my %MCTWW = qw(m -1 e -1 v -1 q -1 g -1 n -1);my $MyCharsToWorkWith = \%MCTWW;   $_ = '--mepqgn ';   if ( ! /-{1,2}(\S+)/ ) {    printf "Expecting a hyphen or two floowed
