VERSION
Version 3.020
SYNOPSIS
use Net::IPAddress::Util::Range;
my $x = '192.168.0.3';
my $y = '192.168.0.123';
my $range = Net::IPAddress::Util::Range->new({ lower => $x, upper => $y });
print "$range\n"; # (192.168.0.3 .. 192.168.0.123)
for (@{$range->tight()}) {
print "$_\n";
}
my $w = '192.168.0.0/24';
my $range = Net::IPAddress::Util::Range->new({ ip => $w });
my $v = '192.168.0.0';
my $range = Net::IPAddress::Util::Range->new({ ip => $v, cidr => 24 });
my $z = '255.255.255.0';
my $range = Net::IPAddress::Util::Range->new({ ip => $v, netmask => $z });DESCRIPTION
CLASS METHODS
new
The constructor.
BUILD
Internal use only.
OBJECT METHODS
'""'
as_string
Objects stringify to a representation of their range.
as_cidr
Stringification for CIDR-style strings.
as_netmask
Stringification for Netmask-style strings.
outer_bounds
Return the bounds of the smallest subnet capable of completely containing the addresses in this range. Note that this is not automatically the same thing as "the subnet that matches this range", as a range may or may not be aligned to legal subnet boundaries.
inner_bounds
Return the bounds of the largest subnet capable of being completely contained by the addresses in this range. Note that this is not automatically the same thing as "the subnet that matches this range", as a range may or may not be aligned to legal subnet boundaries.
tight
Returns a collection of subnets that (between them) exactly match the addresses in this range. The returned object is a Net::IPAddress::Util::Collection, which can be treated as an array reference of Net::IPAddress::Util::Range objects.
loose
Returns a blessed object (of this class) representing the range returned by outer_bounds().
lower
upper
Get the lower or upper bounds of this range.
