Net::IP::Minimal(3p)

NAME
Net::IP::Minimal - 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
        Returns           : 1 (yes) or 0 (no)

    "ip_is_ipv6($ip) and print "$ip is IPv6";"
