Net-IPAddress-Util

Version-agnostic representation of an IP address in Perl

The goal of the Net::IPAddress::Util modules is to make IP addresses easy to deal with, regardless of whether they're IPv4 or IPv6, and regardless of the source (and destination) of the data being manipulated. The module Net::IPAddress::Util is for working with individual addresses, Net::IPAddress::Util::Range is for working with individual ranges of addresses, and Net::IPAddress::Util::Collection is for working with collections of addresses and/or ranges.

INSTALLATION

To install this module, run the following commands:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

If you would like to run the (time-consuming) battery of time trials, for instance to decide whether or not it's worthwhile prefering Radix Sorting over Perl's built-in sort, please set the environment variable IP_UTIL_TIME_TRIALS to a true value before running 'make test'.

If you do run the time trials, I'd appreciate it if you could email the diag messages (including the line listing the backend library in use) to me at [email protected]
