DESCRIPTION
NetAddr::IP::UtilPP provides pure Perl functions for NetAddr::IP::Util

•   $rv = hasbits($bits128);

    This function returns true if there are one's present in the 128 bit string and false if all the bits are zero.

      i.e.  if (hasbits($bits128)) {
              &do_something;
            }

      or    if (hasbits($bits128 & $mask128) {
              &do_something;
            }

    This allows the implementation of logical functions of the form of:

            if ($bits128 & $mask128) {
                ...

      input:        128 bit IPv6 string
      returns:      true if any bits are present

•   $bitsXn = shiftleft($bits128,$n);

      input:        128 bit string variable,
                    number of shifts [optional]
      returns:      bits X n shifts

      NOTE: input bits are returned
            if $n is not specified

•   addconst($ipv6naddr,$signed_32con);

    Add a signed constant to a 128 bit string variable.

      input:        128 bit IPv6 string,
                    signed 32 bit integer
      returns:  scalar      carry
                array       (carry, result)

•   add128($ipv6naddr1,$ipv6naddr2);

    Add two 128 bit string variables.

      input:        128 bit string var1,
                    128 bit string var2
      returns:  scalar      carry
                array       (carry, result)

•   sub128($ipv6naddr1,$ipv6naddr2);

    Subtract two 128 bit string variables.

      input:        128 bit string var1,
                    128 bit string var2
      returns:  scalar      carry
                array       (carry, result)

    Note: The carry from this operation is the result of adding the one's complement of ARG2 +1 to the ARG1. It is logically NOT borrow.

            i.e.    if ARG1 >= ARG2 then carry = 1
            or      if ARG1  < ARG2 then carry = 0

•   ($spurious,$cidr) = notcontiguous($mask128);

    This function counts the bit positions remaining in the mask when the rightmost '0's are removed.

            input:  128 bit netmask
            returns true if there are spurious
                        zero bits remaining in the
                        mask, false if the mask is
                        contiguous one's,
                    128 bit cidr

•   $ipv6naddr = ipv4to6($netaddr);

    Convert an ipv4 network address into an ipv6 network address.

      input:        32 bit network address
      returns:      128 bit network address

•   $ipv6naddr = mask4to6($netaddr);

    Convert an ipv4 netowrk address into an ipv6 network mask.

      input:        32 bit network/mask address
      returns:      128 bit network/mask address

    NOTE: returns the high 96 bits as one's

•   $ipv6naddr = ipanyto6($netaddr);

    Similar to ipv4to6 except that this function takes either an IPv4 or IPv6 input and always returns a 128 bit IPv6 network address.

      input:        32 or 128 bit network address
      returns:      128 bit network address

•   $ipv6naddr = maskanyto6($netaddr);

    Similar to mask4to6 except that this function takes either an IPv4 or IPv6 netmask and always returns a 128 bit IPv6 netmask.

      input:        32 or 128 bit network mask
      returns:      128 bit network mask

•   $netaddr = ipv6to4($pv6naddr);

    Truncate the upper 96 bits of a 128 bit address and return the lower 32 bits. Returns an IPv4 address as returned by inet_aton.

      input:        128 bit network address
      returns:      32 bit inet_aton network address

•   $bcdtext = bin2bcd($bits128);

    Convert a 128 bit binary string into binary coded decimal text digits.

      input:        128 bit string variable
      returns:      string of bcd text digits

•   $bits128 = bcd2bin($bcdtxt);

    Convert a bcd text string to 128 bit string variable

      input:        string of bcd text digits
      returns:      128 bit string variable
