In the spirit of there is more than one way to do it, here is my solution to the problem without using any of the CPAN modules. Just straight forward divide and conquer.

use strict;

chomp(my @CIDR = <DATA>);
foreach (@CIDR)
{
  if (/\//) {
    # expand the address list
    my ($base, $range) = /(\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.)(.*)/;
    my ($r0, $r1) = split /\//, $range;
    if ($r1 < $r0) {
        die "invalid ip range" if length($r1) >= length($r0);
        $r1 = substr($r0, 0, length($r0) - length($r1)) . $r1;
    }
    print "$base$_\n" for $r0 .. $r1;
  } elsif (/-/) {
    my ($base, $from, $to) = /(\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.)(\d+)-\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.(\
+d+)/;
    print "$base$_\n" for $from .. $to;
  } else {
    # singular IP address
    print "$_\n";
  }
}
