So...

if ($ENV{REMOTE_ADDR} eq '180.76.6.175') {

works as

if ($ENV{REMOTE_ADDR} =~  /^180\.0?76\.0{0,2}6\.\d{1,3}$/) {

what would a wild card for :

if ($ENV{REMOTE_ADDR} eq '180.76.6.') {

and 

if ($ENV{REMOTE_ADDR} eq '180.76.') {

look like ?

Sorry if the question sounds so noobish, but the use of wildcards for this particular circumstance is beating up my brain. Technically all I am trying to do is put some code in to my program to keep out various IPs that are able to run my progs in the cgi-bin directory EVEN though their IP is totally banned in the .htaccess file. God only knows why the cgi-bin directory does not benefit from the same protection as all other directories under the .htaccess file as it leaves the progs open to abusive bandwidth consumption.

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).
