Greeting fellow monks. I am again trying my hand at Perl and hope that someone can point me in the right direction.

I found a good free IP Range to Country/City/ASN, CSV database:

https://ipinfo.io/pricing - (Partway down the page you can see the free db downloads)

The Database seems good, but that leaves the issue of how do do lookups. I'm wondering if anybody has any suggestions?

I would think that there should be code available for find an IPv4 address in a table of Low/High addresses.

I'm open to other free solutions, or some code that I can hack. Its just for personal use to help with spam filtering.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
