Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2003-09-07 Severity: wishlist * Package name : libnet-ip-perl Version : 1.20 Upstream Author : Manuel Valente <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/M/MA/MANU/Net-IP-1.20.tar.gz * License : GPL or Artistic Description : Perl extension for manipulating IPv4/IPv6 addresses
This package contains the Net::IP module, which provides functions to deal with IPv4/IPv6 addresses. The module can be used as a class, allowing the user to instantiate IP objects, which can be single IP addresses, prefixes, or ranges of addresses. There is also a procedural way of accessing most of the functions. Most subroutines can take either IPv4 or IPv6 addresses transparently. I planned to package this module because the next version of the w3c-markup-validator (currently in beta) requires it. Actually, the libnetaddr-ip-perl package seems to offer the same kind of functionality, but it seemed much easier to package the tiny libnet-ip-perl rather than forking the validator. The package is already available on http://www.mathgen.ch/debian/unstable if anyone is interested. If noone has any complaint about the ITP or the package itself, I'm looking for a sponsor who can upload it -- thanks in advance !
