I went to report the doc error, and found a major, easy-to-fix bug that's been ignored for two years. ipv4_chkip will pass any string of four or more integers between 0 and 255 connected by .'s. The deal-breaker here is the 'four or more' instead of 'exactly four.'
So I can't recommend it. Perhaps try Regexp::Common instead.
use Net::IPv4Addr qw(:all);
use Regexp::Common qw(net);
my @var = qw(23.23.109.103 12324.123.12.1 1.2.3.4.5.6);
print "Net::IFv4Addr:\n";
ipv4_chkip($_) and print "$_ is good\n" for @var;
print "Regexp::Common:\n";
/^$RE{net}{IPv4}$/ and print "$_ is good\n" for @var;
produces
Net::IFv4Addr:
23.23.109.103 is good
1.2.3.4.5.6 is good
Regexp::Common:
23.23.109.103 is good
Note that you do need to anchor the start and end of the regexp with ^ and $, 'cause just /$RE{net}{IPv4}/ would match 312.45.32.4.

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).
