I have this:

It skips to the next item in the while loop of the string begins with
# and works fine. I would also like to skip to the next item in the
loop if the string contains anything other then lowercase,
underscores, numbers, dashes, periods, and spaces. I do not want
uppercase characters and any sort of other special characters. How
would I do that?
I dunno.. maybe:
while (<IN>) {
chomp;
next if /^#/;
next unless /^[a-z0-9_-. ]+$/;
# do stuff
}
I didn't actually test this, so it is simply a shot in the dark, but it
might be a good place to start.
