weekend monks...
I have a list of IP addresses in dot decimal format, a class A RFC 1918 internal addresses (10.0.0.0/8). I would like to scan these IP's for a service, but instead of doing it sequentially (10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2, ...) I would like to intermix different class C's as much as possible.
What I first tried did not work:
my @list = ('10.1.1.1', '10.1.1.2', '10.2.2.1', '10.2.2.2');
@list = sort intermix @list;
sub intermix
{
return (
substr( $a, 0, rindex($a, '.'))
eq
substr( $b, 0, rindex($b, '.'))
)
? 1 : 0;
}
Randomizing the list would be one way sort of around the sequential problem, but not as neat as what I was looking for. The reason behind the requirement is to avoid hitting limits and easy the load on individual routers/switches for each segment. Any nice perl idioms to solve this problem?

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).
