in thread Integer IP address to Quad IPv4 address one liner or close to it?

You should probably use the functions in Socket who's names I can never remember, but this works for the dotted decimal form: 

print unpack 'N', pack 'C4', split '\.', '127.0.0.1';;

It doesn't work for those obscure forms that only hackers and scammers use: dotted-hex & dotted-octal.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
