Greetings,
This is a proposal for a general purpose Perl module for manipulating IPv4 and IPv6
addresses.
Name: Manuel Valente
E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
User-ID: MANU or MANUV
DSLI: Rdph Manipulation of IPv4/IPv6 addresses
AnonFTP archive file: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/tools/Net-IP-1.0.tar.gz
Discussion: There are already a few modules which allow IP address manipulation and
calculus - Net::IPv4Addr and NetAddr::IP are two such modules. At RIPE-NCC, we felt
that these modules did not cover all the functionality that we needed for manipulation
of IP addresses. More importantly, none of these modules allowed manipulation of IPv6
addresses. The Net::IP module tries to answer to these problems and also include the
functionality present in the other modules.
The module is already being used internally in our organization, RIPE-NCC, the
European Regional Internet Registry.
I tried to supply all the correct information, but feel free to correct whatever
mistakes I may have made - this is my first contribution to CPAN.
Cheers.
