I have the following code: 
use strict; use warnings;

my $obj_ip =  new NetAddr::IP '10.12.100.0','255.255.252.0';

print "Network: " . $obj_ip->network . "\n";
print "Bits: " . $obj_ip->bits . "\n";
print "CIDR: " .$obj_ip->cidr . "\n";
print "Addr: " . $obj_ip->addr . "\n";
print "Mask: " . $obj_ip->mask . "\n";

[download]
which gives me the following: 
Network: 10.12.100.0/22
Bits: 32
CIDR: 10.12.100.0/22
Addr: 10.12.100.0
Mask: 255.255.252.0

Why does the Bits show as 32? According the cpan documentation, the default is 32, but it doesn't match with what the CIDR, Network and Mask show. Am I missing something, or is this a bug that I have to get around by parsing $ob_ip->cidr?
