In 'ATTEMPT 2', I think you are missing the closing } (right-curly-bracket) of the  if block (should be just after the  print statement). With this closing curly, the code works for me – see first example below. BWT: Use the  [download] link to download whatever is posted within  <code> ... </code> or  <c> ... </c> tags without inclusion of line-wrap flags!

As for extracting individual digit fields from each extracted IP address, I think a two-step process would be best: see second example below.

In general, see perlre, perlrequick, perlreref, perlretut, 

>perl -wMstrict -le
"my $str = 'foo 94.198.240.132:60988 bar 174.142.24.201:3128 baz';
 if (my @matches = $str =~ m{ ([0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-
+9]{1,3}:[0-9]{1,5}) }xmsg) {
   print qq{matched @matches};
   }
 ;;
 if (my @ips = $str =~ m{ \d{1,3} (?: \. \d{1,3}){3} : \d{1,5} }xmsg) 
+{
   for my $ip (@ips) {
     my ($p1, $p2, $p3, $p4, $p5) = $ip =~ m{ \d+ }xmsg;
     print qq{'$ip': '$p1' '$p2' '$p3' '$p4' '$p5'}
     }
   }
"
