NAME

       Net::Address::IP::Local - A class for discovering the local system's IP address

VERSION

       0.1.2

SYNOPSIS

           use Net::Address::IP::Local;

           # Get the local system's IP address that is "en route" to "the internet":
           my $address      = Net::Address::IP::Local->public;
           my $address_ipv4 = Net::Address::IP::Local->public_ipv4;
           my $address_ipv6 = Net::Address::IP::Local->public_ipv6;

           # Get the local system's IP address that is "en route" to the given remote
           # IP address:
           my $address = Net::Address::IP::Local->connected_to($remote_address);

DESCRIPTION

       Net::Address::IP::Local discovers the local system's IP address that would be used as the
       source address when contacting "the internet" or a certain specified remote IP address.

   Class methods
       This class just provides the following class methods:

       public: returns string; throws Net::Address::IP::Local::Error
           Returns the textual representation of the local system's IP address that is "en route"
           to "the internet".  If the system supports IPv6 and has an IPv6 address that is "en
           route" to "the internet", that is returned.  Otherwise, the IPv4 address that is "en
           route" to "the internet" is returned.  If there is no route at all to the internet, a
           Net::Address::IP::Local::Error exception is thrown.

       public_ipv4: returns string; throws Net::Address::IP::Local::Error
           Returns the textual representation of the local system's IPv4 address that is "en
           route" to "the internet".  If there is no IPv4 route to the internet, a
           Net::Address::IP::Local::Error exception is thrown.

       public_ipv6: returns string; throws Net::Address::IP::Local::Error
           Returns the textual representation of the local system's IPv6 address that is "en
           route" to "the internet".  If there is no IPv6 route to the internet, a
           Net::Address::IP::Local::Error exception is thrown.

       connected_to($remote_address): returns string; throws Net::Address::IP::Local::Error
           Returns the textual representation of the local system's IP address that is "en route"
           to the given remote IP address.  If there is no route to the given remote IP address,
           a Net::Address::IP::Local::Error exception is thrown.
