The Net::IP::Match::XS module efficiently matches IP addresses against IP ranges. The unconditionally exported subroutine 'match_ip' determines if the ip to match ( first argument ) matches any of the subsequent ip arguments. Match arguments may be absolute quads, as '127.0.0.1', or contain mask bits as '111.245.76.248/29'. WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Net-IP-Match-XS/
