for that specific case, assuming x-encoded input, i'd suggest:
## eliminate the space-escapes
$data =~ s/\+//g;
## eliminate any hex-escape sequences
$data =~ s/%..//g;
## and eliminate anything that remains and isn't a digit.
$data =~ s/\D+//g;
regexps are handy, but it's easier to use a sequence of simple ones than a
single complex monster.
