NAME
    Regexp::NumRange - Create Regular Expressions for numeric ranges

VERSION
    Version 0.03

SYNOPSIS
    Regexp::NumRange is a package for generating regular expression strings.
    These strings can be used in a regular expression to correctly match
    numeric strings within only a specified range.

    Example Usage:

      use Test::More;
      use Regexp::NumRange qw/ rx_max /;

      my $rx = rx_max(255);

      like '100', qr/^$rx$/, '100 is less than 255';
      unlike '256', qr/^$rx$/, '256 is greater tha 255';

EXPORT
    Exports Available:

      use Regexp::NumRange qw/ rx_max rx_range /;

SUBROUTINES/METHODS
  rx_range

    Create a regex string between two arbitrary integers.

      use Test::More;
      use Regexp::NumRange qw/ rx_range /;

      my $string = rx_range(256, 1024);
      my $rx = qr/^$string$/;

      ok "10" !~ $rx;
      ok "300" =~ $rx;
      ok "2000" !~ $rx;

  rx_max

    Create a regex string between 0 and an arbitrary integer.

      my $rx_string = rx_max(1024); # create a string matching numbers between 0 and 1024
      is $rx_string, '(102[0-4]|10[0-1][0-9]|0?[0-9]{1,3})';
