If your range can be expressed as a limited number of digits instead,
you should need only a regexp like this (which should work for both
JavaScript and Perl validation):

validate => {
    number_between_1000_and_9999 =>
        '^[1-9][0-9]{3}$',
    number_between_10_and_9999 =>
        '^[1-9][0-9]{1,3}$',
    number_between_0_and_10000 =>
        '^(0|[1-9][0-9]{0,3}|10000)$',
    number_between_5_and_3000 =>
        '^(5-9]|[1-9][0-9]{0,2}|[1-2][0-9]{3}|3000)$',
},
