Hi below code validates the IP adress. Please do let me know how this can be enhanced so that it is more readable.
The validations considered are listed below.
1) If the length of any part of the IP adress seperated by the decimal is more than one digit, then it should not start with zero.
2) The first part of the IP adress seperated by the decimal cannot be zero.
3) Any part of the IP adress seperated by the decimal cannot be more than 255.
4) IP address should contain only 3 decimals.
5) The numbers cannot be negative.
print "Enter the IP address : ";
$ip = <stdin>;
if($ip =~ /^( 3-9\d?|1\d?\d?|2( 0-5? 0-5?| 6-9?))\.(0| 3-9\d?|(1\d?\d?|2( 0-5? 0-5?| 6-9?)))\.(0| 3-9\d?|(1\d?\d?|2( 0-5? 0-5?| 6-9?)))\.(0| 3-9\d?|(1\d?\d?|2( 0-5? 0-5?| 6-9?)))$/) {
print "Correct\n";
}
else {
print "Wrong\n";
}

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.
