lirc201 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm trying the following:

if($view_tag =~ m/[^A-Za-z0-9_\-\.]/) {

So allowable characters in the file name (inputted for the command line), however I do not want the first character to be anything other than A-Za-z0-9. I've tried several combinations but have not been successful.

Thanks!
