I have an input file that I have to evaluate whether to include lines

Is there a simple regex that would allow me to

In my case it will either be A or I (capital i) if that helps?
Thanks very much from a perl newb.
my $line = "1234567890A\n";
my ($lastchar) = $line =~ /(.)$/;
That assigns the second to last character.
