finding the first non digit character in a string

I see where you can test for a match in a string of data using the If ( )
statement, but can you use it with an 'index' statement?
The data may look like this:
$DD = "5000|SIHHTEXT"
I've tried $d = index($DD, m/[^\d]/);
$d = index($DD, /[^\d]/);
$d = index($DD, [^\d]);
none of which worked.
While the text sting will always start out with some numbers, (a dollar
amount without the dollar sign) I can't always tell how large the amount
will be or if there will be any cents. I need to extract the dollar / cents
out from the text. Any suggestions as to how that can be done?
Thanks,
