"My difficulty is I don't really understand well enough the code.."

Perhaps this demo program will help you

use strict;
use Socket;
my $len = '/29';
print "IP                   IPN        Mask      Subnet\n";
for my $i (1...31){
  print_subnet('192.168.1.'.$i ,$len);
}

sub print_subnet { 
  my ( $ip, $len ) = @_; 
  my $ipn = unpack "N", Socket::inet_aton $ip;
  $len =~ s/^\///; 
  my $maskn = 0xFFFFFFFF << ( 32 - $len ); 
  my $subnet_ipn = $ipn & $maskn; 
  my $subnet_ip = Socket::inet_ntoa pack "N", $subnet_ipn; 
  printf "%-20s %s %x %s\n","$ip/$len",$ipn,$maskn,$subnet_ip;
}

It should produce a table like this. Change len values to see effect.

IP                   IPN        Mask      Subnet
192.168.1.1/30       3232235777 3fffffffc 192.168.1.0
192.168.1.2/30       3232235778 3fffffffc 192.168.1.0
192.168.1.3/30       3232235779 3fffffffc 192.168.1.0
192.168.1.4/30       3232235780 3fffffffc 192.168.1.4
192.168.1.5/30       3232235781 3fffffffc 192.168.1.4
192.168.1.6/30       3232235782 3fffffffc 192.168.1.4
192.168.1.7/30       3232235783 3fffffffc 192.168.1.4
192.168.1.8/30       3232235784 3fffffffc 192.168.1.8
192.168.1.9/30       3232235785 3fffffffc 192.168.1.8

You should be able to add the first comment like this

$subnets{"$ip,$len"}{ipn}   = $ipn;
$subnets{"$ip,$len"}{maskn} = $maskn;
if ( $subnets{"$ip,$len"}{'comment'} eq '' ){
  $subnets{"$ip,$len"}{'comment'} = $comment;
}

Note : If you did this the comment would be erased by a later blank record

$subnets{"$ip,$len"} = { ipn => $ipn, maskn => $maskn };

To print it out use this

print "subnet,prefix,name\n";
print "$_,$subnet{$_}{'comment'}\n"
   for sort { $subnets{$a}{ipn} <=> $subnets{$b}{ipn} };

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
