It seems that you are not putting space characters in where they need to be, however, it's hard to tell for sure, since your code is not wrapped in code tags.
You previously had this:
Space it out like this:
Please use code tags for this reason.
Also, it looks like you are using the "test" program along with "expr", which won't work. The left bracket character ( [ ) is a sort of alias to "test". Get a manual on test ( man test ) to see how this works. Instead of using both, just use 1 of the programs. So change your first line to either:
or
Also, expr will print a '1' if true, '0' if false. Use "test" if you don't want the digit to be printed ( or re-direct output ).
Also, since this is a new question, it should probably be a new thread.

locale::codes::langext
Locale::Codes::LangExt(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Locale::Codes::LangExt(3)NAME
Locale::Codes::LangExt - standard codes for language extension identification
SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Codes::LangExt;
$lext = code2langext('acm'); # $lext gets 'Mesopotamian Arabic'
$code = langext2code('Mesopotamian Arabic'); # $code gets 'acm'
@codes = all_langext_codes();
@names = all_langext_names();
DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Codes::LangExt" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language extensions, such as those as defined in
the IANA language registry.
Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default IANA language
registry codes will be used.
SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language extensions. A code set may be specified using either a name, or
a constant that is automatically exported by this module.
For example, the two are equivalent:
$lext = code2langext('acm','alpha');
$lext = code2langext('acm',LOCALE_LANGEXT_ALPHA);
The codesets currently supported are:
alpha
This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from the IANA language registry, such as 'acm' for Mesopotamian Arabic.
This is the default code set.
ROUTINES
code2langext ( CODE [,CODESET] )
langext2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
langext_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
all_langext_codes ( [CODESET] )
all_langext_names ( [CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangExt::rename_langext ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangExt::add_langext ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangExt::delete_langext ( CODE [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangExt::add_langext_alias ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
Locale::Codes::LangExt::delete_langext_alias ( NAME )
Locale::Codes::LangExt::rename_langext_code ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangExt::add_langext_code_alias ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangExt::delete_langext_code_alias ( CODE [,CODESET] )
These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
