=head1 NAME
NetAddr::IP::Find - Find IP addresses in plain text
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use NetAddr::IP::Find;
$num_found = find_ipaddrs($text, \&callback);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This is a module for finding IP addresses in plain text.
=head2 Functions
NetAddr::IP::Find exports one function, find_ipaddrs(). It works very
similar to URI::Find's find_uris() or Email::Find's find_emails().
$num_ipaddrs_found = find_ipaddrs($text, \&callback);
The first argument is a text to search through and manipulate. Second
is a callback routine which defines what to do with each IP address as
they're found. It returns the total number of IP addresses found.
The callback is given two arguments. The first is a NetAddr::IP
instance representing the IP address found. The second is the actual
IP address as found in the text. Whatever the callback returns will
replace the original text.
=head1 EXAMPLES
# For each IP address found, ping its host to see if its alive.
use Net::Ping;
my $pinger = Net::Ping->new;
my %pinged;
find_ipaddrs($text, sub {
my($ipaddr, $orig) = @_;
my $host = $ipaddr->to_string;
next if exists $pinged{$host};
$pinged{$host} = $pinger->ping($host);
});
while (my($host, $up) == each %pinged) {
print "$host is " . $up ? 'up' : 'down' . "\n";
}
# Resolve IP address to FQDN
find_ipaddrs($text, sub {
my($ipaddr, $orig) = @_;
resolve_ip($ipaddr->to_string);
});
sub resolve_ip {
use Net::DNS;
# see perldoc Net::DNS for details
}
