regex for hours, minutes

nugget_shark

Guys,
I know that to you Perl regex experts out that this might be easy, but I'm a neophyte...

Would like to know if anyone has a regular expression that would check for valid hours between 1-12 and minutes 0-60...

I currently have
valid_input => '/^[0-1][0-9]/' # for hours
and
valid_input => '/^[0-6][0-9]/', # for minutes

but they're not really sufficiet as I'd still probably need to call a subroutine to check...

Would like to include as part of a a Tag_info, valid_input expression...

Thanks,

Doug
