Your subject says "regular expression help" but your problem is "with the
global variable $mac ...". So which is it? If you're going to declare a
variable as 'global' then it has to be done in every function in which that
variable is to be used.

Which means here:

>f]{2}\:[0-9A-Fa-f]{2}$", $mac ) ) {

and wherever else.
