in thread Sorting IP Subnets together

Since the OP was using NetAddr::IP, what follows is a version that uses that module.

I used the same approach as in my earlier post. The main difference is that sorting is trickier because we are working with the string form. A plain (lexical) sort won't do because 20.0.0.0 would sort after 198.162.0.0.

use strict; use warnings; use NetAddr::IP qw( ); my $subnet_mask = 29; my @ip_xfers = ( [ '10.0.0.1', 555555 ], [ '10.2.1.6', 444444 ], [ '10.6.2.8', 333333 ], [ '10.2.1.2', 222222 ], ); my %subnet_xfers; foreach (@ip_xfers) { my ($ip, $xfer) = @$_; my $subnet = NetAddr::IP->new($ip, $subnet_mask)->network(); my $subnet_ip = $subnet->addr(); # Save NetAddr::IP for sorting. $subnet_xfers{$subnet_ip} ||= [ $subnet, 0 ]; $subnet_xfers{$subnet_ip}[1] += $xfer; } my @sorted_keys = sort { $subnet_xfers{$a}[0]->aton() cmp $subnet_xfers{$b}[0]->aton() } keys %subnet_xfers; foreach (@sorted_keys) { my ($subnet, $xfer) = @{$subnet_xfers{$_}}; print("$subnet: $xfer\n"); }
10.0.0.0/29: 555555 10.2.1.0/29: 666666 10.6.2.8/29: 333333

Update: I originally didn't sort the output due to the extra complexity.
