[] does not do what you think it does in a regexp. I would do a sub to do what you want done.
# Zone 8
my $z8 = "10-374,376-379,382-385,388-499,530-534,541-543,618,619,700-7
+04,707-709";
my $num = "375";
print "Found it!\n" if in_range($z8, $num); #$num =~/[$z8]/;
sub in_range{
my $numbers = shift;
my $num = shift;
my @ranges = split ',', $numbers;
foreach my $r (@ranges){
if (my ($small, $big) = $r =~ /^(\d+)-(\d+)$/){
return 1 if $small <= $num and $big >= $num;
}
elsif( my ($n) = $r =~ /^(\d+)$/){
return 1 if $n == $num;
}
else{
die 'Oh noo:-(';
}
}
return 0;
}
Update: Fixed bugs

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
