Checking for letters and spaces in regular expression??

[Carlos C . Gonzalez]

Hi everyone,

Given the following code why does it print out "Valid chars in string."?  
In other words why does the space between "San" and "Jose" not make the 
if expression true?

my $string = "San Jose";

if ($string !~ /[a-zA-Z]/) {
  print "Invalid characters in string."
}         
else {
  print "Valid chars in string."          
}               

Thanks.
