It's probably beating a dead horse at this point, but this looks like what you're trying to do, with explainations:
# original
if($view_tag =~ m/[^A-Za-z0-9_\-\.]/) {
# corrected
if($view_tag =~ m/^[A-Za-z0-9][\w.-]*/) {
# to anchor the match at the beginning,
# the ^ comes immediately after the first /:
m/^[A-Z ...
# match the first character
[A-Za-z0-9]
# matching subsequent characters:
[\w.-]*
# \w is the same as [A-Za-z0-9_]
# . does not need to be escaped when inside brackets
# put - last inside brackets, otherwise it may indicate a range
# the quantifier * matches 0 or more instances of the characters

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).
