NAME

Net::IP::Match::Bin - Perl extension for match IP addresses against Net ranges

SYNOPSIS

use Net::IP::Match::Bin;

my $ipm = Net::IP::Match::Bin->new();
$ipm->add("10.1.1.0/25", ...);
...
$ipm->add("192.168.2.128/26", ...);

$cidr = $ipm->match_ip("192.168.2.131");

DESCRIPTION

This module is XS implementation of matching IP addresses against Net ranges. Using similar method to Net::IP::Match::Regexp in storing Net ranges into memory. By implementing in XS C-code, and does not use regexp, more fast setup time and less using memory. This module is useful when Net ranges change often or reusing range data won't be suitable.

METHODS

new()

Create IP range object and initialize it.

$ipm->add( $net | $arrayref | $hashref, ... )

Add Network address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/mask) into the object. mask is 1 .. 32 CIDR mask bit value.

    $ipm->add( [ "10.1.0.0/16", "10.2.2.128/25", "192.168.0.0/27" ] );

    $ipm->add( { "10.1.0.0/17" => "Net A", "10.2.2.0/24" => "Net B",
		"192.168.0.0/27" => "Net X" } );
When HASH ref is used as arguments, match_ip() returns the value when matched.

$cidr = $ipm->match_ip( $ip )

Searches matching $ip against previously setup networks. Returns matched Network in CIDR format (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/mask). or undef unless matched.
