NAME
    Net::IPAddress::Minimal - IP string to number and back

VERSION
    version 0.05

SYNOPSIS
    This module converts IPv4 strings to integer IP numbers and vice versa.

    It's built to be used as quickly and easily as possible, which is why
    you can just simply use the "invert_ip" function.

    It recognizes whether you have an IPv4 string or a number and converts
    it to the other form.

    Here's a sample script:

        use Net::IPAddress::Minimal ('invert_ip');

        my $input_string = shift @ARGV;
        my $output       = invert_ip( $input_string );

        print "$output\n";

EXPORT
    Three functions can be exported:

    *   invert_ip

    *   num_to_ip

    *   ip_to_num

SUBROUTINES/METHODS
  invert_ip
    Gets an IPv4 string or an IP number and converts it to the other form.

        my $ip_num = invert_ip( '10.200.10.130' );
        #  $ip_str = 180882050
    
        my $ip_num = invert_ip( 180882050 );
        #  $ip_str = '10.200.10.130';

  num_to_ip
    Gets an IP number and returns an IPv4 string.

        my $ip_num = num_to_ip( 3232235778 );
        #  $ip_str = '192.168.1.2';

  ip_to_num
    Gets a IPv4 string and returns the matching IP number.

        my $ip_num = ip_to_num( '212.212.212.212' );
        #  $ip_num = 3570717908

  test_string_structure
    Checks the structure of the input string and returns flags indicating
    whether it's an IPv4 string, and IP number or something else (which is
    an error).
