unless $facts[“whatever”] =~ Stdlib::Compat::Ipv4 {
fail(“meh”)
}
Though I would say your class should have a ip parameter and callers should
supply the value and you should if but perhaps default so the fact this will
help with tests etc
class whatever(Stdlib::Compat::Ipv4 $ip = $facts[“whatever”]) { }
This will help with tests too
