I'm not entirely sure what you want for output because you did not show an example. But, if you just want to grab the 6th column from your input, you could use split instead of a regex:

use strict;
use warnings;

while (<DATA>) {
    my $num = (split)[5];
    print "$num\n";
}

__DATA__
*> 4.23.88.0/23     64.135.0.1                             0 1000 234 
+46164 i
*> 4.23.89.0/24     64.135.0.1                             0 1000 2014

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
