Not an answer to your question, but this looks rather "strange":

if ($num =~ /1-9/)

Unless you want to check whether $num contains the string '1-9', it will do not what you want, which is probably to check whether $num only contains the figures 1 to 9:

if ($num =~ /^[1-9]+$/)

But watch out! The figure 10 will not be accepted by this. Why don't you just do:

if ($num >= $minimum and $num <= $maximum and int($num) == $num) { ...
+ }

for whatever the acceptable minimum and maximum values are.
