Speaking of IP Address modules, I'm getting weird cpantesters results from
Net::IPAddress::Util
http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Net-IPAddress-Util%200.09
Trouble is, they all seem to involve Math::BigInt::(GMP|Pari), and I'm
having the darndest time getting either of those modules to install on my
development system (Ubuntu 9.04 x64 with Perl 5.10).
Net::IPAddress::Util subclasses Math::BigInt, and according to the POD, I
ought to be able to use any and all of the alternate math libraries with
no special magic. However, I did have to do a little bit of special magic
(a custom import() sub) in order to provide the same import arguments as
Math::BigInt while letting my module export things. I'm afraid that in
doing so I've screwed something up.
If TELS or somebody is reading this, and is ready, willing, and able to
help me figure out what I'm doing wrong, I'd love the opportunity to make
my code better -- maybe even to the point where it's ready to move out of
beta to version 1.0...
Thanks,
