NAME

Regexp::IPv4 - Regular expression for IPv4 addresses

VERSION

This document describes version 0.003 of Regexp::IPv4 (from Perl distribution Regexp-IPv4), released on 2016-10-18.

SYNOPSIS

use Regexp::IPv4 qw($IPv4_re);

$address =~ /^$IPv4_re$/ and print "IPv4 address\n";

DESCRIPTION

The regex only recognizes the quad-dotted notation of four decimal integers, ranging from 0 to 255 each. Other notations like 32-bit hexadecimal number (e.g. 0xFF0000) or shortened dotted notation (e.g. 255.0.0) are not recognized.

If you do not use anchor, beware of cases like:

"255.255.255.256" =~ /($IPv4_re)/; # true & capture "255.255.255.25"
