Sorry - I should have specified that. As per your example, you can enter it as:

192.168.1.0;255.255.255.0

Or, since we're using Net::Netmask:

192.168.1.0/24
192.168.1.0:255.255.255.0
192.168.1 - which assumes a /24 block
192.168 - which assumes a /16 block
192 - which assumes a /8 block
192.168.1/24
192.168/16
etc.

Net::Netmask is particularly smart about parsing these things, so it's a nice tool to leverage for this type of work.
