DESCRIPTION

This module is just a wrapper of the Net::Netmask module to allow it to operate automaticly with Net::ACL::Rule.

CONSTRUCTOR

new() - create a new Net::ACL::Match::Prefix object

    $match = new Net::ACL::Match::Prefix('10.0.0.0/8');

This is the constructor for Net::ACL::Match::Prefix objects. It returns a reference to the newly created object. Any arguments is parsed directly to the constructor of Net::Netmask.

ACCESSOR METHODS

The method uses Net::Netmask to verify that the base address and the size of the prefixes are the same.
