This is a quick, nasty way of matching a range without spending a lot of effort on crafting a clever regular expression.

@range = (0 .. 59);
{
    local $" = '|';
    $rxMatchIt = qr{(@range)};
}

You end up with a regular expression which says match 0 or 1 or ... 59. This falls over if there are leading zeros but could easily be adapted to cope. I like nifty regular expressions but sometimes quick and dirty gets the job done.
