ZipTie::Addressing::Subnet

SYNOPSIS

    use ZipTie::Addressing::Subnet;
    my $host = '192.168.1.50';   # doesn't need to be the network address
    my $mask = 24;
        my $subnet = ZipTie::Addressing::Subnet->new($host, $bitMask);
        if ($subnet->contains('192.168.1.33'))
        {
                print 'Yes, this would be the case';
        }

DESCRIPTION

Build a subnet definition, IPv4 or IPv6 based on any host address in the subnet, and a subnet mask in bits.

Requires Net::IP to function.

CONSTRUCTOR

new($host, $bitMask): Builds a ZipTie::Addressing::Subnet object from a host and mask.
