NAME

Farly::IPv4::Network - IPv4 network class

DESCRIPTION

This class represents an IPv4 network.

Inherits from Farly::IPv4::Object.

METHODS

new( <string> )

The constructor accepts a dotted decimal format address and mask or CIDR format network.

 my $ip_network = Farly::IPv4::Network->new( "10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0" );
 my $ip_network = Farly::IPv4::Network->new( "10.0.0.0/8" );

address()

Returns the 32 bit integer network address

  $32bit_int_network_addr = $ip_network->address();

mask()

Returns the network mask Farly::IPv4:Address object

  my $mask_object = $ip_network->inverse_mask()

inverse_mask()

Returns the bit wise logical not of the 32 bit integer network mask IP address

 my $32bit_int_inverse_mask = $ip_network->inverse_mask()

network_address()

Returns the network address as an Farly::IPv4::Address object

  $ipv4_addr_object = $ip_network->network_address();

broadcast_address

Returns the broadcast address as an Farly::IPv4::Address object

  $ipv4_addr_object = $ip_network->broadcast_address();

first()

Returns the 32 bit integer network address

  $32bit_int_network_addr = $ip_network->first();

last()

Returns the 32 bit integer network broadcast IP address

  $32bit_int_network_addr = $ip_network->last();

start()

Returns the network address as an Farly::IPv4::Address object

  $ipv4_addr_object = $ip_network->start();

end()

Returns the broadcast address as an Farly::IPv4::Address object

  $ipv4_addr_object = $ip_network->end();

as_string()

Returns the current Farly::IPv4::Network as a dotted decimal format string

  print $ip_network->as_string();

as_wc_string

Returns the current Farly::IPv4::Network as a dotted decimal format string with a wild card mask

  print $ip_network->as_wc_string();

iter()

Returns an array containing the current IP network as a Farly::IPv4::Range object.

  my @array = $ip->iter();
