You want to capture the specific part of the regex with ( and ), and then
set that equal to a variable. There are two ways of doing that:
if (/(pattern)/) {
$x = $1; # $1 is the first set of ()'s
}
and
($x) = /(pattern)/;
So you probably want:
if ($iplist =~ /((?:\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3})/) {
print "found $1\n";
}
