Your formatting wasn't entirely clear, but I'm assuming the data will all be on one tab delimited line. I'm also assuming you mean between 17 and 02, not between 02 and 17. 
$line = "YYYY-MM-DD\t17:01:00\ttext\t123.456.789.123\t123.456.789.123\
+tURL\tNUMBER\tNUMBER";

$line =~ /.*?\t(\d\d):(\d\d):(\d\d)/;
$time = $1*3600 + $2*60 + $3;
if ($time >= 31500 && $time <= 43200 || $time <= 7200 || $time >= 6120
+0) {
    print "It's a match.";
}

to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
