in thread Matching numeric value between two digits
You weren't doing the check on $1 in your original code.
if($1 => 1 and $1 <= 75 and /\d{1}-\d{2}/) { ... }
The /\d{1}-\d{2}/ is done on $_, not $1.
BTW you could just do the whole-number check right away:
if ($_ =~ /\something(\d*)somethingelse/i){ if($1 => 1 and $1 <= 75) { ... } }
