I'm not sure what the initial m does(I'm not a perl person), but the
rest of the regex matches as follows.

A string whose first character is a digit between 0 and 9. This is
followed by an Upper case letter, and then two or three lower case
letters. All that is followed by a period(or dot), after which may be
a single-digit number, but nothing else.

It matches the following:

1Abc.2
1Abcd.2
1Abc.
1Abcd.
