  use Net::IP;
  my $ip = new Net::IP ('193.0.1/24') or die (Net::IP::Error());
  print ("IP  : ".$ip−>ip()."\n");
  print ("Sho : ".$ip−>short()."\n");
  print ("Bin : ".$ip−>binip()."\n");
  print ("Int : ".$ip−>intip()."\n");
  print ("Mask: ".$ip−>mask()."\n");
  print ("Last: ".$ip−>last_ip()."\n");
  print ("Len : ".$ip−>prefixlen()."\n");

  print ("Type: ".$ip−>iptype()."\n");
  print ("Rev:  ".$ip−>reverse_ip()."\n");

DESCRIPTION

This module provides functions to deal with IPv4/IPv6 addresses. The module can be used as a class, allowing the user to instantiate IP objects, which can be single IP addresses, prefixes, or ranges of addresses. There is also a procedural way of accessing most of the functions. Most subroutines can take either IPv4 or IPv6 addresses transparently.

OBJECT-ORIENTED INTERFACE

Object Creation
A Net::IP object can be created from a single IP address:

  $ip = new Net::IP ('193.0.1.46') || die ...

Or from a Classless Prefix (a /24 prefix is equivalent to a C class):

  $ip = new Net::IP ('195.114.80/24') || die ...

Or from a range of addresses:

  $ip = new Net::IP ('20.34.101.207 − 201.3.9.99') || die ...

Or from a address plus a number:

  $ip = new Net::IP ('20.34.10.0 + 255') || die ...

The new() function accepts IPv4 and IPv6 addresses:

  $ip = new Net::IP ('dead:beef::/32') || die ...

Optionnaly, the function can be passed the version of the IP . Otherwise, it tries to guess what the version is (see _is_ipv4() and _is_ipv6()).

  $ip = new Net::IP ('195/8',4); # Class A

OBJECT METHODS

Most of these methods are front-ends for the real functions, which use a procedural interface. Most functions return undef on failure, and a true value on success. A detailed description of the procedural interface is provided below.

set
Set an IP address in an existing IP object. This method has the same functionality as the new() method, except that it reuses an existing object to store the new IP .

"$ip−>set('130.23.1/24',4);"

Like new(), set() takes two arguments − a string used to build an IP address, prefix, or range, and optionally, the IP version of the considered address.

It returns an IP object on success, and undef on failure.

error
Return the current object error string. The error string is set whenever one of the methods produces an error. Also, a global, class-wide Error() function is available.

"warn ($ip−>error());"

errno
Return the current object error number. The error number is set whenever one of the methods produces an error. Also, a global $ERRNO variable is set when an error is produced.

"warn ($ip−>errno());"

ip
Return the IP address (or first IP of the prefix or range) in quad format, as a string.

"print ($ip−>ip());"

binip
Return the IP address as a binary string of 0s and 1s.

"print ($ip−>binip());"

prefixlen
Return the length in bits of the current prefix.

"print ($ip−>prefixlen());"

version
Return the version of the current IP object (4 or 6).

"print ($ip−>version());"

size
Return the number of IP addresses in the current prefix or range. Use of this function requires Math::BigInt.

"print ($ip−>size());"

binmask
Return the binary mask of the current prefix, if applicable.

"print ($ip−>binmask());"

mask
Return the mask in quad format of the current prefix.

"print ($ip−>mask());"

prefix
Return the full prefix (ip+prefix length) in quad (standard) format.

"print ($ip−>prefix());"

print
Print the IP object (IP/Prefix or First − Last)

"print ($ip−>print());"

intip
Convert the IP in integer format and return it as a Math::BigInt object.

"print ($ip−>intip());"

hexip
Return the IP in hex format

"print ($ip−>hexip());"

hexmask
Return the mask in hex format

"print ($ip−>hexmask());"

short
Return the IP in short format: IPv4 addresses: 194.5/16 IPv6 addresses: ab32:f000::

"print ($ip−>short());"

iptype
Return the IP Type − this describes the type of an IP (Public, Private, Reserved, etc.)

"print ($ip−>iptype());"

reverse_ip
Return the reverse IP for a given IP address (in.addr. format).

"print ($ip−>reserve_ip());"

last_ip
Return the last IP of a prefix/range in quad format.

"print ($ip−>last_ip());"

last_bin
Return the last IP of a prefix/range in binary format.

"print ($ip−>last_bin());"

last_int
Return the last IP of a prefix/range in integer format.

"print ($ip−>last_int());"

find_prefixes
This function finds all the prefixes that can be found between the two addresses of a range. The function returns a list of prefixes.

"@list = $ip−>find_prefixes($other_ip));"

bincomp
Binary comparaison of two IP objects. The function takes an operation and an IP object as arguments. It returns a boolean value.

The operation can be one of: lt: less than (smaller than) le: smaller or equal to gt: greater than ge: greater or equal to

"if ($ip−>bincomp('lt',$ip2) {...}"

binadd
Binary addition of two IP objects. The value returned is an IP object.

"my $sum = $ip−>binadd($ip2);"

aggregate
Aggregate 2 IPs − Append one range/prefix of IPs to another. The last address of the first range must be the one immediately preceding the first address of the second range. A new IP object is returned.

"my $total = $ip−>aggregate($ip2);"

overlaps
Check if two IP ranges/prefixes overlap each other. The value returned by the function should be one of: $IP_PARTIAL_OVERLAP (ranges overlap) $IP_NO_OVERLAP (no overlap) $IP_A_IN_B_OVERLAP (range2 contains range1) $IP_B_IN_A_OVERLAP (range1 contains range2) $IP_IDENTICAL (ranges are identical) undef (problem)

"if ($ip−>overlaps($ip2)==$IP_A_IN_B_OVERLAP) {...};"

looping
The "+" operator is overloaded in order to allow looping though a whole range of IP addresses:

  my $ip = new Net::IP ('195.45.6.7 − 195.45.6.19') || die;
  # Loop
  do {
      print $ip−>ip(), "\n";
  } while (++$ip);

The ++ operator returns undef when the last address of the range is reached.

auth
Return IP authority information from the IP::Authority module

"$auth = ip−"auth ();>

Note: IPv4 only

PROCEDURAL INTERFACE

These functions do the real work in the module. Like the OO methods, most of these return undef on failure. In order to access error codes and strings, instead of using $ip−>error() and $ip−>errno(), use the global functions "Error()" and "Errno()".

The functions of the procedural interface are not exported by default. In order to import these functions, you need to modify the use statement for the module:

"use Net::IP qw(:PROC);"

Error
Returns the error string corresponding to the last error generated in the module. This is also useful for the OO interface, as if the new() function fails, we cannot call $ip−>error() and so we have to use Error().

warn Error();

Errno
Returns a numeric error code corresponding to the error string returned by Error.

BUGS

The Math::BigInt library is needed for functions that use integers. These are ip_inttobin, ip_bintoint, and the size method. In a next version, Math::BigInt will become optional.
