Net::IP::Minimal(3pm)

💖 Net::IP::Minimal(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to Net::IP::Minimal — and yes, it's from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, we love a community moment ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Net::IP::Minimal — the minimal-est little functions from Net::IP, no cap 💅

---

⭐ VERSION ⭐

version 0.06 — she's tiny, she's iconic 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

okay so this is literally the whole vibe:

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 );

look at her go 😭 so simple. so powerful. main character energy fr fr 👑

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so Net::IP is very feature complete, like she has EVERYTHING, she's the popular girl 💖 — but the author found they were literally only using three of her functions, and she uses quite a bit of memory (<https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=24525>). not the memory usage being the villain of the story 💀

so this module? it only provides the minimal number of functions that the author uses in their modules. lowkey minimalism. highkey efficient. we stan a lean queen 🧚

---

🎀 FUNCTIONS 🎀

just like Net::IP, these functions are not exported by default — she's playing hard to get 🙈 you can either import them explicitly, or use :PROC to import them all at once. dealer's choice bestie ✨

💜 ip_get_version

try to guess the IP version of an IP address 🔍

Params  : IP address

Params  : IP address

usage vibes:

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

💜 ip_is_ipv6
