Nice work. Welcome to the InflateColumn module owners club. :-)

Just one carg cult brainwashed by mst nit:

our $VERSION =3D '0.01';

Join the cult. Use the long version numbers (0.01000).

I would also mention in the does, that an is_ip column doesn't have to
be integer. It can also be a varchar/char containing: '1.2.3.4', or
anything that IP->new supports...which appears to be a lot.

Maybe I'm just in a verbose mood this evening.
