IP addresses
Generally, to determine the list of IP addresses associated with a given network, you should consider using Net::Netmask:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::Netmask;
my $spec = ...;
my $block = Net::Netmask->new2($spec) or die "bad spec";
my $base = $block->base;
my $bcast = $block->broadcast;
my @ip = $block->enumerate;
for (@ip) {
next if @ip > 1 and $_ eq $base;
next if @ip > 1 and $_ eq $bcast;
...
}
See the perldoc for
Net::Netmask to see how the network block may be specified. You'll find that it accepts the most intuitive methods.
