=head1 NAME
Net::ASN - Perl extension for manipulating autonomous system numbers
=head1 SYNOPSIS
##OO implementation (methods)
use Net::ASN;
my $asn = Net::ASN->new($ARGV[0]);
print "type : " . $asn->gettype . "\n";
print "asplain16: " . $asn->toasplain16 . "\n";
print "asplain32: " . $asn->toasplain . "\n";
print "asdot : " . $asn->toasdot . "\n";
print "asdotplus: " . $asn->toasdotplus . "\n";
print "\n";
##Non OO implementation (functions)
use Net::ASN qw(:all);
my $asplain = 12345;
print "ASN in asdotplus format is " . plaintodotplus($asplain) . "\n";
my $asdotplus = '1.1';
print "ASN in asplain format is " . dotplustoplain($asdotplus) . "\n";
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Net::ASN provides functions for parsing autonomous system numbers
(ASNs) as defined in RFC 1771 and extended by RFC4893, also
converting between formats discussed in RFC5396.
Both an OO implementation (method based) and non-OO (function based)
are provided for convenience.
=head1 METHODS
=over
=item new
my $asn = Net::ASN->new(1234); #Automatic parsing
or
my $asn = Net::ASN->new(1234,1); #Parse as ASDOT
Creates a new Net::ASN object, prompting parsing of the supplied parameter, an ASN.
Currently, only ASPLAIN and ASDOT+ are automatically recognised as input formats.
If you wish to force input as ASDOT you must provide a second argument to the constructor.
=item gettype
my $type = $asn->gettype;
Returns the type of ASN the parser assumes it is dealing with.
=item toasplain
my $asplain = $asn->toasplain;
Returns the ASPLAIN representation of the parsed ASN
=item toasplain16
my $asplain = $asn->toasplain16;
Returns the ASPLAIN representation of the parsed ASN if the ASPLAIN
representation is is less than or equal to 65535, else returns AS_TRANS
Use for compabability with 16 bit ASN systems.
=item toasdot
my $asdot = $asn->toasdot;
Returns the ASDOT representation of the parsed ASN.
If the parsed ASN is ASPLAIN and less than or equal to 65535 then
returns the ASPLAIN
=item toasdotplus
my $asdotplus = $asn->toasdotplus;
Returns the ASDOT+ representation of the parsed ASN.
=item isprivate
my $isprivate = $asn->isprivate;
Returns 1 if the number falls within the private reserved ranges according to
RFC6996, 0 otherwise. Will accept any format that L<Net::ASN> can convert to
ASPLAIN
=back
=head1 FUNCTIONS
=over
=item plaintodot
my $asdot = plaintodot($asn);
Returns the ASDOT representation of the ASN ($asn)
If $asn is ASPLAIN and less than or equal to 65535 then
returns the ASPLAIN
(Assumes your ASN is in ASPLAIN format)
=item plaintodotplus
my $asdotplus = plaintodotplus($asn);
Returns the ASDOT+ representation of the ASN ($asn)
(Assumes your ASN is in ASPLAIN format)
=item dottodotplus
my $asplain = dottodotplus($asn);
Returns the ASDOT+ representation of the ASN ($asn)
(Assumes your ASN is in ASDOT format)
=item dottoplain
my $asplain = dottoplain($asn);
Returns the ASPLAIN representation of the ASN ($asn)
(Assumes your ASN is in ASDOT format)
=item dottoplain16
my $asplain = dottoplain16($asn);
Returns the ASPLAIN representation of the ASN ($asn) if the ASPLAIN
representation is is less than or equal to 65535, else returns AS_TRANS
(Assumes your ASN is in ASDOT format)
=item dotplustodot
my $asdot = dotplustodot($asn);
Returns the ASDOT representation of the ASN ($asn)
(Assumes your ASN is in ASDOT+ format)
=item dotplustoplain
my $asplain = dotplustoplain($asn);
Returns the ASPLAIN representation of the ASN ($asn)
(Assumes your ASN is in ASDOT+ format)
=item dotplustoplain16
my $asplain = dotplustoplain16($asn);
Returns the ASPLAIN representation of the ASN ($asn) if the ASPLAIN
representation is is less than or equal to 65535, else returns AS_TRANS
(Assumes your ASN is in ASDOT+ format)
=item isprivateasn
my $isprivateasn = isprivateasn($asn);
Returns 1 if the number falls within the private reserved ranges according to
RFC6996, 0 otherwise. Will accept any format that L<Net::ASN> can convert to
ASPLAIN
