Like runrig said, you probably want to unpack the individual fields first, but in answer to your question, perhaps something like:

$packed_record =~ /^[\x00-\xff]{8,15}\xaa\xbb\xcc/;

The library approach doesn't actually work for me. I should have prefaced that I am not using raw Perl, but compiled PCRE in C language, so I needed the raw RegEx.

I'll play with that expression...
