in thread Efficient way to verify scalar contents

As I said it was pseudocode =)

I meant something like this:

use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dump qw/pp dd/; use List::Util qw/min/; sub pw_not_ok { my $pw = shift; my $short = sub { "is too short" }; my $lowercase = sub { /[a-z]/ ? "" : "has no lowercase character" }; my $uppercase = sub { /[A-Z]/ ? "" : "has no uppercase character" }; ### FIXED my $number = sub { /[0-9]/ ? "" : "has no number" }; my $special = sub { if ( /[\x21-\x2F]/ || /[\x3A-\x40]/ || /[\x5B-\x60]/ || /[\x7B-\x7E]/ ) { return ""; } else { return "has no special characters"; } }; my $pass = sub {""}; my @rules_for_class = ( [ $short ], [ $short ], [ $lowercase, $uppercase, $number ,$special ], [ $lowercase, $uppercase, $number ], [ $lowercase, $uppercase ], [ $pass ] ); my $len = length $pw; my $idx = min(int($len/4),5); for my $rule ( @{ $rules_for_class[$idx] } ) { $_ = $pw; if ( my $err = $rule->() ) { return $err; } } return; } # --------- Tests for my $pw ( "A" x 3 , "A" x 7 , "A" x 11, "a" x 5 . "A" x 3, "a" x 5 . "A" x 3 . "1", "a" x 5 . "A" x 3 . "1" .":", "a" x 24, ){ if ( my $err = pw_not_ok($pw) ){ warn "ERROR: $pw is $err\n"; } else { print "OK: $pw\n" } }

ERROR: AAA is is too short ERROR: AAAAAAA is is too short ERROR: AAAAAAAAAAA is has no lowercase character ERROR: aaaaaAAA is has no number ERROR: aaaaaAAA1 is has no special characters OK: aaaaaAAA1: OK: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
