Forget about the grep for a while and just get straight in your head how the digit_sum_is_odd function works and what it does.

use Test::More tests => 14;

sub digit_sum_is_odd {
   my $input = shift;
   my @digits = split //, $input;
   my $sum;
   $sum += $_ for @digits;
   return $sum % 2;
}

ok     digit_sum_is_odd(1);
ok not digit_sum_is_odd(2);
ok     digit_sum_is_odd(3);
ok     digit_sum_is_odd(9);
ok     digit_sum_is_odd(10);
ok not digit_sum_is_odd(11);
ok     digit_sum_is_odd(12);
ok not digit_sum_is_odd(13);
ok     digit_sum_is_odd(1000000);
ok not digit_sum_is_odd('pony');
ok     digit_sum_is_odd('pony1');
ok     digit_sum_is_odd(3, 4);
ok     digit_sum_is_odd(3, 5);
ok     digit_sum_is_odd(3, 'chimpanzee', 'monkey', 'baboon');

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
