Net::IPv6Addr provides functions for parsing IPv6 addresses in all formats described by RFC1884. If Math::Base85 is installed, formats described in RFC1924 are also valid. It will generate "IP6.INT." strings (as described in RFC1886) if you are inclined to play with DNS records. WWW: http://www.nog.net/~tony/warez/ -- Tony Monroe tmonroe+perl@nog.net
