Thanks for your comments and suggestions!

But isn't splitting an IP range into its constituent valid IP blocks actually maximising the number of routing entries? (assuming this exercise is for a route table).

I do think Net::IP::Range::Split (thanks to Smylers again) is appropriate for what this module will try to achive. i.e. split an IP range into its constituent valid IP blocks. The caller could use arguments to indicate whether she wants IP blocks smallest first or largest first.

Module implementation aside, I'm now confused as how to go ahead with CPAN. I did send a request to register a namespace using PAUSE, but I was informed by various good folks that its not a needed step. Do I need a certain number of votes here on Perlmonks to get the go ahead?

All help will be much appreciated!
