Re: ^N.*(?!00$)

~~I would personnally use the !~ operator~~

% perl -le'print "Good" if "NZ312000" !~ /^N.*?00$/'
% perl -le'print "Good" if "NZ312005" !~ /^N.*?00$/'
Good
% perl -le'print "Good" if "NZ312050" !~ /^N.*?00$/'
Good

Update: all of the above is indeed flawed, and more elegant solutions than splitting the regex in two (/^N/ and /00$/) have already been pointed out.
