my ($addr) = $line1 =~ /addr:(0x(?:[[:xdigit:]]{2})+)/;
If the hex value really is an address as 'addr' suggests, is there any guarantee the hex digits will always be paired, i.e., always be an even number of digits? If they are not paired, won't the lack of a boundary assertion sometimes cause an incorrect value to be extracted from the string?
c:\@Work\Perl\monks>perl -wMstrict -le
"my $line1 = 'addr:0xabcde';
my ($addr) = $line1 =~ /addr:(0x(?:[[:xdigit:]]{2})+)/;
print qq{'$addr'};
"
'0xabcd'

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).
