This is a bit clunky but I think it should do what you want. I am going to see if I can optimise out some cruft. 

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my %ipranges;
while (<DATA>) {
    next if /^\s*$/;
    last if /END CONFIG/;
    chomp;
    my @ranges = map {
        if (/^\[(\d+)-(\d+)\]$/)
            {$1, $2}
        else
            {$_, $_}} split /\./;
    $ipranges{$_}=\@ranges;
}

while (<DATA>) {
    next if /^\s*$/;
    chomp;
    my $ip=$_;
    RANGES: foreach my $range (keys %ipranges) {
        my @eatme=@{$ipranges{$range}};
        foreach (split /\./, $ip) {
            my $min = shift @eatme;
            my $max = shift @eatme;
            next RANGES unless ($_ >= $min and $_ <= $max)
        }
        print "A match of $ip in range $range\n";
    }
}

__DATA__
123.145.141.2
123.145.[146-149].2
135.168.[10-115].[0-125]

END CONFIG

1.2.3.4
123.145.147.2
123.145.147.4
135.168.102.102

__END__
results
A match of 123.145.147.2 in range 123.145.[146-149].2
A match of 135.168.102.102 in range 135.168.[10-115].[0-125]

updated code

After a little decrufting and improving (or is that obfuscating) the data structure I have this.. 
/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my %ranges;
while (<DATA>) {
    next if /^\s*$/;
    last if /END CONFIG/;
    chomp;
    $ranges{$_}=[ map {
        if (/^\[(\d+)-(\d+)\]$/)
            {[$1, $2]}
        else
            {[$_, $_]}} split /\./];
}

while (<DATA>) {
    next if /^\s*$/;
    last if /END/;
    chomp (my $ip=$_);
    RANGE: foreach my $range (keys %ranges) {
        my $i=0;
        foreach (split /\./, $ip) {
            next RANGE unless ($_ >= $ranges{$range}->[$i]->[0]
                                          and
                               $_ <= $ranges{$range}->[$i++]->[1]);
        }
        print "$ip\tmatches range $range\n";
    }
}
