Re: CGI: Validate access based on IP

You could also do this with Net::CIDR::Lite, which might be worthwhile if you have alot of cidr addresses. You can not currently serialize the Net::CIDR::Lite object (I've been thinking of adding store/retrieve or freeze/thaw methods), but if you could, then it might be better than reading in the file every time (patches welcome!). Of course, if your method works, and works well enough, then no need to go to the trouble of changing... :-)

Thanks for the reply! I hear you about the freeze/thaw methods - good idea. I thought that Net::CIDR::Lite had no equivalent to Net::CIDR::cidrlookup() - or does it? That's why I went with Net::CIDR, anyway. Any other comments are most welcome! Thanks again :-)	[reply]

I thought that Net::CIDR::Lite had no equivalent to Net::CIDR::cidrlookup() The 'find' method would do that. You would add all ip's and cidr addresses to the object, then do find()'s to see if an ip is within any of those ip's or cidr ranges.	[reply]
