Interesting problem.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

sub output {
    my( $nLow, $cBits )= @_;
    my $ipLow= join ".", unpack "C*", pack "N", $nLow;
    print "    $ipLow/$cBits\n";
}

while(  <DATA>  ) {
    my( $ipMin, $ipMax )= split " ", $_;
    print "$ipMin - $ipMax:\n";
    my $nMin= unpack "N", pack "C*", split /\./, $ipMin;
    my $nMax= unpack "N", pack "C*", split /\./, $ipMax;
    my $bitsMin= 1;
    my $maskMin= 1;
    my $bitsMax= 1;
    my $maskMax= 1;
    while( 1 ) {
        while(  0 == ( $nMin & $maskMin )  ) {
            ( $maskMin <<= 1 ) |= 1;
            $bitsMin++;
        }
        last   if  $nMax < ( $nMin | $maskMin );
        output( $nMin, $bitsMin-1 );
        ( $nMin |= $maskMin ) += 1;
    }
    while( 1 ) {
        while(  $maskMax == ( $nMax & $maskMax )  ) {
            ( $maskMax <<= 1 ) |= 1;
            $bitsMax++;
        }
        $nMax &= ~$maskMax;
        last   if  $nMax < $nMin;
        output( $nMax--, $bitsMax-1 );
    }
}

Sorry about the last half being output in the reverse order.

I haven't tested it extensively, but it feels right and works for the cases I did test.

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.
