I'm right in the middle of Mastering Regular
Expressions and he has lots of pretty pictures
of how to carve up the lexical domain of strings to
permit all and only the right types of numbers.
He has IPs, dates and times. Using regexes for these
things seems strange and error prone (eg. there was
recently a bug in FormBuilder's date regex).
Anyway, here's one the treats the digits as a number.
I don't think this is a good solution in this case, but
it does escape the lexical prison.
my $rx = qr/\A
(\d+) (?(?{ $1>=0 && $1<=55 }) | (?!)) \.
(\d+) (?(?{ $2>=0 && $2<=55 }) | (?!))
\z/x;

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).
