Use a hash as a state table.
You'll have to fill in how you get your 0s and 1s and concatenate them, and getting your times into comparable format (seconds since...).
#! perl -slw
use strict;
my %states = (
0000 => 1, 0001 => 0, 0010 => 0, 0011 => 0,
0100 => 0, 0101 => 0, 0110 => 0, 0111 => 0,
1000 => 1, 1001 => 0, 1010 => 1, 1011 => 0,
1100 => 1, 1101 => 0, 1110 => 0, 1111 => 1,
);
my $state = ....; ## Get state from wherever?
if( $states{ $state } ) {
## Validate values
my( $startTime, $endTime ) = ...; ## Get times
if( $startTime < $endTime ) {
## Do it
}
else {
## Reject.
}
else {
## Reject.
}
BTB. If specifying just start and end hour is valid, why isn't specifying start hr/min and just end hr (1110) also valid? Eg. Start:10:45 * End: 11
