Regexp::Common (with the automatically loaded Regexp::Common::net) can simplify IP extraction. For one thing, it (Update: can be used to create a regex that) will not match IPs with invalid (Update: decimal) octets such as are allowed by [0-9]{1,3} (try different invalid octets in the $s string).
>perl -wMstrict -le
"use Regexp::Common qw(net);
;;
my $s = 'host1 dns:192.168.243.30,asdf';
my $IP = qr{ (?<! \d) $RE{net}{IPv4} (?! \d) }xms;
my ($ip) = $s =~ m{ $IP }xmsg;
print qq{ip '$ip'} if $ip;
"
ip '192.168.243.30'

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
