Net-IP-Util version 1.03
========================
The README is used to introduce the module and provide instructions on
how to install the module, any machine dependencies it may have (for
example C compilers and installed libraries) and any other information
that should be provided before the module is installed.
A README file is required for CPAN modules since CPAN extracts the
README file from a module distribution so that people browsing the
archive can use it get an idea of the modules uses. It is usually a
good idea to provide version information here so that people can
decide whether fixes for the module are worth downloading.
INSTALLATION
To install this module type the following:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
NAME

ABSTRACT
This module tries provide the basic functionalities related to IPv4 addresses.
Address class, subnet masks, subnet addresses, broadcast addresses can be deduced
using the given methods. Ip addresses passed are also validated implicitly.
Provision has been given to specify IP addresses in either dotted decimal notation
or dotted binary notation, methods have been provided for conversion to-from these
to notations which are internally used by other methods too.
METHODS
isClassAddrA,isClassAddrB,isClassAddrC,isClassAddrD,isClassAddrE
isClassAddrA(<addr in decimal/binary>) : returns 1 if true
eg.
isClassAddrA('127.0.32.45');
isClassAddrA('00001111.11110010.00100100.10000001');
dec2binIpAddr
dec2binIpAddr(<ip addr in dotted decimal notation>) : returns ip in binary dotted notation
eg.
dec2binIpAddr('128.0.0.56');
bin2decIpAddr
bin2decIpAddr(<ip addr in dotted binary notation>) : returns ip in decimal dotted notation
eg.
bin2decIpAddr('10001000.10100001.00010101.00000001');
getAddrMaskDefault
getAddrMaskDefault(<ip addr in decimal/binary notation>) : returns default subnet mask in dotted decimal notation
eg.
getAddrMaskDefault('124.45.0.0'); >> 255.0.0.0
getAddrMaskDefault('10000000.00000001.01010101.10000001'); >> 255.0.0.0
getAddrClass
getAddrClass(<ip addr in decimal/binary notation>) : returns class (A/B/C/D/E) of ip address
eg.
getAddrClass('124.45.0.0');
getAddrClass('00001111.11110010.00100100.10000001');
isValidMask
isValidMask(<ip addr in decimal/binary notation>) : returns 1 if valid mask
eg.
isValidMask('255.255.252.0');
isValidMask('11111111.00000000.00000000.00000000');
extendMaskByBits
extendMaskByBits(<ip addr in decimal/binary notation>,<no.of bits to extend>)
: returns mask after extending/turning on given no. of bits after the already on bits of the mask
eg.
extendMaskByBits('255.255.0.0',2); >> 255.255.192.0
extendMaskByBits('11111111.00000000.00000000.00000000',2); >> 11111111.11000000.00000000.00000000
calcSubnet
calcSubnet(<ip addr in decimal/binary notation>) : returns (no. of subnets, no. of hosts)
calcSubnet('128.90.80.12');
calcSubnet('11000000.00000000.11000000.01011100');
- These always assumes Default Mask in calculation - hence no of subnets returned is always 0
calcSubnetCIDR
calcSubnetCIDR(<ip addr in decimal/binary CIDR notation>, [<mask in decimal/binary notation>])
: returns (no. of subnets, no. of hosts)
calcSubnetCIDR('128.87.56.26/28');
calcSubnetCIDR('128.87.56.26/28','255.255.252.0');
calcSubnetExt
calcSubnetExt(ip addr in decimal/binary notation>, no. of bits to extend in default mask OR no. of borrowed bits)
: returns (no. of subnets, no. of hosts)
eg.
calcSubnetExt('128.0.0.1',4);
calcSubnetExt('10001000.10100001.00010101.00000001',4);
Expln : no. of borrowed bits is added to the default subnet mask of ip addr to subnet mask
and subnetting is done so :
***************************************************
127.0.40.1 = ip addr
255.0.0.0 = default subnet mask
no. of borrowed bits = 4
=> 255.240.0.0 = extended mask
***************************************************
getNetworkAddr
getNetworkAddr(<ip addr in decimal/binary notation>,
<default mask in decimal/binary notation>,
<subnet mask in decimal/binary notation>,
<true flag - if you want broadcast addresses instead of n/w addresses
) : returns network/broadcast addresses of the subnets after subnetting as a list
eg.
getNetworkAddr('198.23.16.0','255.255.255.240','255.255.255.252'); >> ('198.23.16.0','198.23.16.4','198.23.16.8','198.23.16.12')
getNetworkAddr('198.23.16.0','255.255.255.240','255.255.255.252',1); >> ('198.23.16.3','198.23.16.7','198.23.16.11','198.23.16.15')
getNetworkAddr('10000000.00000001.01010101.10000001',
'11111111.11111111.11111111.11110000',
'11111111.11111111.11111111.11111100',); >> Always returns n/w addresses in dotted decimal irrespective of binary/decimal
address parameter passed
CAVEAT
IPv4 only
Validation of IP addresses are done, but because of conversions here and there it may not show the IP address properly in the error message
as passed earlier by the user.
