NAME

       Net::IPTrie - Perl module for building IPv4 and IPv6 address space hierarchies

SYNOPSIS

           use Net::IPTrie;
           my $tr = Net::IPTrie->new(version=>4);  # IPv4
           my $n  = $tr->add(address=>'10.0.0.0', prefix=>8);
           my $a  = $tr->add(address=>'10.0.0.1', data=>$data) # prefix defaults to 32
           $a->parent->address eq $n->address and print "$a is within $n";

           # Addresses can be provided in integer (decimal) format
           # 10.0.0.7 == 167772167
           my $b = $tr->add(iaddress=>'167772167', data=>'blah');
           if ( my $c = $tr->find(address=>"10.0.0.7" ) {
               print $c->data;  # should print "blah"
           }

          # If the IP does not exist:
          my $d = $tr->find(address=>"10.0.0.8")
          print $d->address;  # should print "10.0.0.0", which is the closest parent block

DESCRIPTION

        This module uses a radix tree (or trie) to quickly build the hierarchy of a given address space
        (both IPv4 and IPv6).  This allows the user to perform fast subnet or routing lookups.
        It is implemented exclusively in Perl.

CLASS METHODS

   new - Class Constructor
         Arguments:
           Hash with the following keys:
           version - IP version (4|6)
         Returns:
           New Net::IPTrie object
         Examples:
           my $tr = Net::IPTrie->new(version=>4);

INSTANCE METHODS

   version - Set or get IP version (4 or 6)
         Arguments:
           IP version (4 or 6) - optional
         Returns:
           version (4 or 6)
         Examples:
           print $tr->version;

   size - Set or get IP size (32 or 128)
         Arguments:
           Size (32 or 128) - optional
         Returns:
           Address size in bits (32 or 128)
         Examples:
           print $tr->size;

   find - Find an IP object in the trie
           If the given IP does not exist, there are two options:
           a) If the "deep" flag is off, the closest covering IP block is returned. This is
              the default behavior.
           b) If the "deep" flag is on, the node where the searched IP should be inserted is returned.
              This is basically only useful for the "add" method.

         Arguments:
           Hash with following keys:
             address  - String (i.e. "10.0.0.1") address
             iaddress - Integer (i.e. "167772161") address, IPv4 or IPv6.
             prefix   - Prefix Length (optional  - defaults to host mask)
             deep     - Flag (optional). If not found, return the node where object should be inserted.
         Returns:
           Net::IPTrie::Node object.
         Examples:
           my $n = $tr->find("10.0.0.1", 32);

   add - Add an IP to the trie
         Arguments:
           Hash with following keys:
             address  - String address, IPv4 or IPv6 (i.e. "10.0.0.1")
             iaddress - Integer address, IPv4 or IPv6 (i.e. "167772161")
             prefix   - Prefix Length (optional - defaults to host mask)
             data     - Data (optional)
         Returns:
            New Net::IPTrie::Node object
         Examples:
           my $n = $tr->add(address=>"10.0.0.1", prefix=>32, data=>\$data);

   traverse - Traverse every node in the tree
         Arguments:
           root - node object (optional - defaults to tree root)
           code - coderef (will be passed the Net::IPTrie::Node object to act upon)
           mode - (depth_first only, for now)
         Returns:
           Number of actual IP nodes visited
         Examples:
           # Store all IP nodes in an array, ordered.
           my $list = ();
           my $code = sub { push @$list, shift @_ };
           my $count = $tr->traverse(code=>$code);
