I have to write a perl script that keeps track of tcp connections. I plan to keep track of this in an array of the form tcp_connection[source address][dest address]
To do this I want to convert an IP address of the form A.B.C.D into a number that will serve as an index of the array. I want to do it in a way that there is very low probability of the number created from A.B.C.D being the same as that created from E.F.G.H. One way is to create a MD5 hash with input as A.B.C.D etc. Is there any way to do this in perl? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] http://learn.perl.org/
