This is my reading of the spec: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Regexp::Common;

my $dur = qr /-?                           # Optional leading minus.
              P                            # Required.
              (?=[T\d])                    # Duration cannot be empty.
           (?:(?!-) $RE{num}{int} Y)?      # Non-negative integer, Y (
+optional)
           (?:(?!-) $RE{num}{int} M)?      # Non-negative integer, M (
+optional)
           (?:(?!-) $RE{num}{int} D)?      # Non-negative integer, D (
+optional)
           (?:T (?=\d)                     # T, must be followed by a 
+digit.
           (?:(?!-) $RE{num}{int} H)?      # Non-negative integer, H (
+optional)
           (?:(?!-) $RE{num}{int} M)?      # Non-negative integer, M (
+optional)
           (?:(?!-) $RE{num}{decimal} S)?  # Non-negative decimal, S (
+optional)
           )?                              # Entire T part is optional
             /x;

while (<DATA>) {
    chomp;
    print "$_ ", /^$dur$/ ? "matches\n" : "does not match\n";
}
