man Net::IP::Minimal (3): Minimal functions from Net::IP

VERSION

version 0.06

SYNOPSIS

use Net::IP::Minimal qw[:PROC];
my $ip = '172.16.0.216';
ip_is_ipv4( $ip ) and print "$ip is IPv4";
$ip = 'dead:beef:89ab:cdef:0123:4567:89ab:cdef';
ip_is_ipv6( $ip ) and print "$ip is IPv6";
print ip_get_version( $ip );

DESCRIPTION

Net::IP is very feature complete, but I found I was only using three of its functions and it uses quite a bit of memory <https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=24525>.

This module only provides the minimal number of functions that I use in my modules.

FUNCTIONS

The same as Net::IP these functions are not exported by default. You may import them explicitly or use ":PROC" to import them all.

"ip_get_version"

Try to guess the IP version of an IP address.

    Params  : IP address
    Returns : 4, 6, undef(unable to determine)

"$version = ip_get_version ($ip)"

"ip_is_ipv4"

Check if an IP address is of type 4.

    Params  : IP address
    Returns : 1 (yes) or 0 (no)

"ip_is_ipv4($ip) and print "$ip is IPv4";"

"ip_is_ipv6"

Check if an IP address is of type 6.

    Params            : IP address
