in reply to regexp problem, square paranthesis
First of all, please wrap your code in <code> ... </code> tags, so that it's easier to read.
Secondly, I think what you're looking for is to "escape" the brackets [ ... ] within your regular expression. So perhaps you want something like the following ...?
my $tempreg = $p->get_token()->raw; if ($tempreg =~ /\[192\.168\.242\.2\]/) { print "finally a match\n"; }
You can read more about regular expressions in perlrequick, perlretut, or perlre, where you'll see that the bracket characters [ ... ] are "metacharacters" with special meaning (specifically, they delimit "character classes"), so you have to put backslashes in front of any to search for them like other, non-special characters. The same thing is also true of periods ".", which when unescaped, match any character except newline, and must therefore also be escaped with "\".
