ISTR (although I can't find where now) that 0 is not valid for the
numeric parts. I am not 100% sure on that...
If so, you can't have E0 7PT but you can have E20 7PT.
Similarly, E4 7PT is valid but E4 0PT is not.
So you could do:
m/[A-Z]{1,2}[1-9]{1,1}\d{0,1}[A-Z]{0,1}\W[1-9]{1,1}[A-Z]{2,2}/
I also assume you'll be using some form of case-insensitivity in
there...
