Rewrite netmask.t to use Test::More

Fix bug # 22662 reported by grjones at gmail: cidrs2inverse
wouldn't notice /32-sized leftovers.

Fix bug # 22085 reported by grjones at gmail: cidrs2inverse
wouldn't notice /32-sized holes.
= 2006/09/06 1.9013
Added the nextblock() method as suggested by Robert Drake <rdrake at stayonline.net>
Bugfix: it couldn't parse 10/8 or 127/8

Some speed improvements from Todd R. Eigenschink <todd at tekinteractive.com>

Fix to netmasks.t for compatability with older perls
= 2004/04/06 1.9008
Added cidrs2inverse() which will find the gaps in a list of blocks.
Based on a request from Howard Jones <howard.jones at network-i.net>
the tag() method was added. It allows you to store your own data in
a Net::Netmask object. (Of course, you could have anyway as long as you
didn't use the keys 'IBASE' or 'BITS')
Long ago, Alexandros M Manoussakis <amm2 at ini.cmu.edu> reported a bug
that findAllNetblock would often return the same block multiple times.
Fixed.
Based on requests from Alexandros M Manoussakis <amm2 at ini.cmu.edu>
and Lamprecht Andreas <andreas.a.lamprecht at siemens.com> the
undefined behavior for overlapping blocks with cidrs2contiglists
is no longer. Such blocks will be in the same sublist.
Based on a requests from Tom Rudnick <trudnick at itc.nrcs.usda.gov>
and Anthony Pardini <tony at pardini.org> new function was added:
cidrs2cidrs(). cidrs2cidrs will condense a set of netblocks by
combining blocks together that make up larger blocks.
Anthony Pardini <tony at pardini.org>, Frank Tegtmeyer <fte @ fte.to>
and George Walker <gwalker at irish-times.com> pointed me to a bug
with the contains() method. Fixed.
= 2004/01/01 1.9007
At Max Baker <max at warped.org>'s request, the "require 5.6.1"
was removed for better compatability with older perl versions.
= 2003/12/05 1.9006
Removed '@'s from this file.
= 2003/11/29 1.9005
Matija Papec <matija at post.hinet.hr> suggested that I do a
Schwartzian transform on the IP address sort function. I
tried it. It's faster. Sort function replaced.
Added a sort_network_blocks function.
Added a contains() function to test if one block fits within
another.
Peter Chen <petechen at netilla.com> was concerned about
using an illegal bitmask. Now checked.
Long ago, Alexandros M Manoussakis <amm2 at ini.cmu.edu> noted that
could be exported even though it was in EXPORT_OK. Fixed.
= 2003/05/28 1.9004
Martin Lorensen <martin at lorensen.dk>: make 'any' a synonym for
'default'.
Bugfix (aslo from Martin): fix the require to accept 5.6.1
= 2003/05/26 1.9003
Roman Shishkin <roman at rt.mipt.ru> provided several (public exported)
functions for looking at network tables:
dumpNetworkTable()
checkNetblock()
Inspired: changing findOuterNetblock() so it can take a block
as it's IP address.
Bugfix: notice that '218.0.0.0 - 221.255.255.255' isn't a valid
netmask. Reported by Dan Wright <wright at smx.pair.com>.
Bugfix: could not specify network '0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255'. Fix
from Dominic Mitchell <dom at semantico.com>.
Added ->sameblock() from Martin Lorensen <martin at lorensen.dk>
Added ->cmpblocks().
Added overloaded stringification so that blocks stringify to their
description.
Added overloaded block comparision so that blocks can be compared and
sorted.
Added hostmask syntax a.b.c.d#hostmask - Martin Lorensen <martin at lorensen.dk>
Bugfix: t/badnets.t was missing from the MANIFEST.
Some spelling and typo mistakes fixed in the documentation.
= 2001/11/12
Change the license to make the Debian folks happy. Interface through
Jonas Smedegaard <dr at jones.dk>.
= 2001/09/29
Sapient Fridge <sapient.fridge at WaCkY.zzn.com> and Alexander Karptsov
<karp at visti.net> sent a patch for a bug in range2cidrlist. The
last IP in the range was skipped.
Sam Denton <sdenton at wantec.com> requested support for
a.b.c.d/mask.mask.mask.mask.
Sam also sent a request that I include the world's fastest
sort-by-ip-address-in-perl function in Net::Netmask as there didn't
seem to be a better place to put it. I've included it. The function
in question was found/benchmarked by John Porter and written about
in the Perl-Users Digest, Issue 3860, Volume 8.
Sam sent a patch to eliminate a couple of trailing spaces in
the error codes.
My IP address are now 216.240.32/19 instead of 140.174.82/19 and
thus I've changed the examples in the pod. :-)
= 2001/05/15
Added deleteNetblock to match storeNetblock.
Carol Lerche <cafl at securify.com> contributed findOuterNetblock()
and findAllNetblocks().
Kevin Baker <kevin at apnic.net> sent in patches that suggested a new
handling of error conditions; extra error conditions to test for; and
a test script to exercise the error conditions.
Bruce Peikon <Bruce.Peikon at msdw.com> sent a contribution which suggested
that enumerate could do so by network.
Dominic Mitchell <dom at semantico.com> sent in code that suggested the
creation of cidrs2contiglists() and range2cidrlist().
A couple of documentation fixes from Igor Vinokurov <igor at rtsnet.ru>.
= 1999/09/20
Modified the match() method to return the position within the block.
= 1999/09/15
Added support for understanding network blocks in the form that the
whois database uses: FirstIP-LastIP.
= 1999/03/27
Jochen Wiedmann <joe at ispsoft.de> contributed a function to test an IP
address and a block to test see if the IP address is in the block.
Accordingly, there is now a match() method.
Rob Walker <rob at varesearch.com> contributed a function to return the
first usable adress in a block. Instead of using that, I added a function
to return the nth address in a block. There is now an nth() function.
= 1998/11/29
Jean-Luc Szpyrka <Jean-Luc.Szpyrka at sophia.inria.fr> requested that a
function be provided that returns the oposite of a netmask. Accordingly,
there is now the hostmask() method.
