When you call a routine with a list of arguments, you are passing an array to the routine in the special array @_.
In order to determine the number of arguments using a regular expression, you would first have to join them with a sufficiently unique key and then parse them out with the regex, this seems...strange.
Could you specify your problem more clearly, or if it is coursework, move the conversation to that forum filling all the required fields.
