Where is my hammer?
sub isPrime($) {
$n=pop;
1^(1x$n--)=~/^(1{2,$n})\1+$/;
}
With n>2
Just for fun as a contrib to https://github.com/fxn/math-with-regexps/blob/master/one-liners.sh (fxn).
Update, thanks to ambrus's reply: Re^2: is it prime?
sub isPrime($) {
(1x pop)!~/^(11+)\1+$/
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
