At least on my screen, the two '' looks just like a signle ". Using
q{} instead is a bit of PBP style I've come to adopt, but I can
certainly see how it could be confusing to some.

Except for my typo, which Woody pointed out. It should have been this:
my $regex = join q{}, map { "[$num2chars[$_]]" } @digits;
Though arguably, @num2chars could have been constructed to have the
character class brackets already. I do think that map will be
understood at a lower point of Perl fluency than slices, but that's a
fairly arbitrary distinction. :-) In the actual contest entry, of
course, the map was chained with the split, so it all just worked well
together that way. Your slice syntax is more elegant, certainly.
