Hello. I only have a suggention on the IP matching part. I've always found myself using the below extra-large regexp, courtesy of Mastering Regular Expressions.
my @ips = qw( 127.0.0.1
0.0.0.0
256.0.0.1
123.555.333.222666 );
foreach my $ip (@ips) {
my $f = undef;
if($ip =~ m/^(?!0+\.0+\.0+\.0)
([01]?\d\d?|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])
\.([01]?\d\d?|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])
\.([01]?\d\d?|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])
\.([01]?\d\d?|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])$/x ) {
$f =1;
}
print 'Is', $f ? "" : 'n\'t', " valid and/or usable IP: $ip \n"
}
When run produces:
Is valid and/or usable IP: 127.0.0.1
Isn't valid and/or usable IP: 0.0.0.0
Isn't valid and/or usable IP: 256.0.0.1
Isn't valid and/or usable IP: 123.555.333.222666
Update: changed code to better illustrate its usefulness.

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.
