NAME

       Net::IP::Minimal - Minimal functions from Net::IP

VERSION

       version 0.06

SYNOPSIS

         use Net::IP::Minimal qw[:PROC];

         my $ip = '172.16.0.216';

         ip_is_ipv4( $ip ) and print "$ip is IPv4";

         $ip = 'dead:beef:89ab:cdef:0123:4567:89ab:cdef';

         ip_is_ipv6( $ip ) and print "$ip is IPv6";

         print ip_get_version( $ip );

DESCRIPTION

       Net::IP is very feature complete, but I found I was only using three of its functions and
       it uses quite a bit of memory <https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=24525>.

       This module only provides the minimal number of functions that I use in my modules.

FUNCTIONS

       The same as Net::IP these functions are not exported by default. You may import them
       explicitly or use ":PROC" to import them all.

       "ip_get_version"
           Try to guess the IP version of an IP address.

               Params  : IP address
               Returns : 4, 6, undef(unable to determine)

           "$version = ip_get_version ($ip)"

       "ip_is_ipv4"
           Check if an IP address is of type 4.

               Params  : IP address
               Returns : 1 (yes) or 0 (no)

           "ip_is_ipv4($ip) and print "$ip is IPv4";"

       "ip_is_ipv6"
           Check if an IP address is of type 6.

               Params            : IP address
               Returns           : 1 (yes) or 0 (no)

           "ip_is_ipv6($ip) and print "$ip is IPv6";"
