module directory has changed (eg. "darwin-2level" vs.
"darwin-thread-multi-2level").
binary packages of perl modules need to be distinguishable between
being built against threaded perl and unthreaded perl, so bump the
PKGREVISION of all perl module packages and introduce
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED for perl as perl>=5.8.5nb5 so the correct
dependencies are registered and the binary packages are distinct.

Added cidrs2inverse() which will find the gaps in a list of blocks.
Based on a request from Howard Jones the tag() method was added.
It allows you to store your own data in a Net::Netmask object.
(Of course, you could have anyway as long as you didn't use the
keys 'IBASE' or 'BITS')
Long ago, Alexandros M Manoussakis reported a bug that findAllNetblock
would often return the same block multiple times. Fixed.
Based on requests from Alexandros M Manoussakis and Lamprecht
Andreas the undefined behavior for overlapping blocks with
cidrs2contiglists is no longer. Such blocks will be in the same
sublist.
Based on a requests from Tom Rudnick and Anthony Pardini new function
was added: cidrs2cidrs(). cidrs2cidrs will condense a set of
netblocks by combining blocks together that make up larger blocks.
Anthony Pardini, Frank Tegtmeyer and George Walker pointed me to
a bug with the contains() method. Fixed.
while this module does relate to network address manipulation, it's
really a development package with which to build applications, so
devel is more appropriate.
wich some cleanup by me.
Net::Netmask parses and understands IPv4 CIDR blocks. It's built with an
object-oriented interface. Nearly all functions are methods that operate
on a Net::Netmask object.
There are methods that provide the nearly all bits of information about
a network block that you might want.
There are also functions to put a network block into a table and then
later lookup network blocks by IP address in that table. There are
functions to turn a IP address range into a list of CIDR blocks. There
are functions to turn a list of CIDR blocks into a list of IP addresses.
There is a function for sorting by text IP address.
