Hello,
you can play with length and more less greediness like in the following example (for sure while i'm writing you had received better answers)
use strict;
use warnings;
while (<DATA>){
chomp;
$_=~/x(.*?)x(.*)x$/;
if (length $1 == length $2){
print "OK $_\t [$1]",length $1," [$2]",length $2,"\n";
}
else{print "$_ NOT OK\t[$1]",length $1," [$2]",length $2,"\n";}
}
__DATA__
xxx
x.x.x
x12x..x
x123x...x
x123x.x.x
x12x1x
# out
OK xxx []0 []0
OK x.x.x [.]1 [.]1
OK x12x..x [12]2 [..]2
OK x123x...x [123]3 [...]3
OK x123x.x.x [123]3 [.x.]3
x12x1x NOT OK [12]2 [1]1

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
