use the non-greedy .+? modifier + the optional group (?: ... )*
my $test = "Server list (Win2K/Win2003/XP) 6.26.5.1.5";
my $test1 = "Server list 6.26.5.1.5";
# $test =~ /(.*)(\(.+\))(.*)/;
my $regexp = qr{ # note: greedy (.+) vs. non-greedy (.+?)
+qf.
(.+?) # capture what comes but look ahead => $1
\s* # optional whitespace
(?: # start optional group (?: ... )?
\( # opening bracket
([^)]+) # get what's in the bracket => $2
\) # closing bracket
)? # - optional
\s* # possibly followed by some whitespace
([\d.]+) # then look for numbers and dots => $3
$ # which is anchored at the string end
}x;
if( $test =~ /$regexp/ ) { # if( $test1 =~ /$regexp/ )

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
