Change:
my $out = $Ora_code =~ /ORA\-\d{5}/
to:
my ($out) = $Ora_code =~ /(ORA\-\d{5})/
.
Adding the first set of parens causes $out to be treated as a one-element list. Without those parens, you have scalar context instead of list context; regex matches in scalar context return "truth" of the match instead of anything captured in the match. That Truth is represented as the "1" you are seeing.
Adding the second set of parens declares what data should be captured when the regex is evaluated during the match.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
