perldoc -q 'is a number' leads to "How do I determine whether a scalar
is a number/whole/integer/float?". Please check the FAQ before posting.

is a way to find out if its am alphanumeric, so contains both alphabets
and numbers and maybe punctuation

So take the answer from the FAQ, apply two grams of brain power and call
again if your solution does not give the desired results.

Yes, there is a way.
Use regular expressions and the match operator.
perldoc perlrequick
perldoc perlretut
perldoc perlre
perldoc -f m
perldoc perlop
If you post your code here, we will help you fix it.

No, this is a group where people are expected to expend a little
of their own effort before asking hundreds of others to spend
effort on their behalf.
We help people fix Perl code, we don't generally write their
Perl code for them.
Take your best shot at solving your problem, and if it doesn't work,
post your broken code here and we will help you fix it.
