Regexp::Common::net(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Regexp::Common::net(3pm)
NAME
Regexp::Common::net -- provide regexes for IPv4 addresses.
SYNOPSIS
use Regexp::Common qw /net/;
while (<>) {
/$RE{net}{IPv4}/ and print "Dotted decimal IP address";
/$RE{net}{IPv4}{hex}/ and print "Dotted hexadecimal IP address";
/$RE{net}{IPv4}{oct}{-sep => ':'}/ and
print "Colon separated octal IP address";
/$RE{net}{IPv4}{bin}/ and print "Dotted binary IP address";
/$RE{net}{MAC}/ and print "MAC address";
/$RE{net}{MAC}{oct}{-sep => " "}/ and
print "Space separated octal MAC address";
}
DESCRIPTION
Please consult the manual of Regexp::Common for a general description of the works of this
interface.
Do not use this module directly, but load it via Regexp::Common.
This modules gives you regular expressions for various style IPv4 and MAC (or ethernet)
addresses.
$RE{net}{IPv4}
Returns a pattern that matches a valid IP address in "dotted decimal". Note that while
318.99.183.11 is not a valid IP address, it does match "/$RE{net}{IPv4}/", but this is
because 318.99.183.11 contains a valid IP address, namely 18.99.183.11. To prevent the
unwanted matching, one needs to anchor the regexp: "/^$RE{net}{IPv4}$/".
For this pattern and the next four, under "-keep" (See Regexp::Common):
$1 captures the entire match
$2 captures the first component of the address
$3 captures the second component of the address
$4 captures the third component of the address
$5 captures the final component of the address
$RE{net}{IPv4}{dec}{-sep}
Returns a pattern that matches a valid IP address in "dotted decimal"
If "-sep=P" is specified the pattern P is used as the separator. By default P is
"qr/[.]/".
$RE{net}{IPv4}{hex}{-sep}
Returns a pattern that matches a valid IP address in "dotted hexadecimal", with the
letters "A" to "F" capitalized.
If "-sep=P" is specified the pattern P is used as the separator. By default P is
"qr/[.]/". "-sep=""" and "-sep=" "" are useful alternatives.
$RE{net}{IPv4}{oct}{-sep}
Returns a pattern that matches a valid IP address in "dotted octal"
If "-sep=P" is specified the pattern P is used as the separator. By default P is
"qr/[.]/".
$RE{net}{IPv4}{bin}{-sep}
Returns a pattern that matches a valid IP address in "dotted binary"
If "-sep=P" is specified the pattern P is used as the separator. By default P is
"qr/[.]/".
$RE{net}{MAC}
Returns a pattern that matches a valid MAC or ethernet address as colon separated
hexadecimals.
For this pattern, and the next four, under "-keep" (See Regexp::Common):
$1 captures the entire match
$2 captures the first component of the address
$3 captures the second component of the address
$4 captures the third component of the address
$5 captures the fourth component of the address
$6 captures the fifth component of the address
$7 captures the sixth and final component of the address
This pattern, and the next four, have a "subs" method as well, which will transform a
matching MAC address into so called canonical format. Canonical format means that every
component of the address will be exactly two hexadecimals (with a leading zero if
necessary), and the components will be separated by a colon.
The "subs" method will not work for binary MAC addresses if the Perl version predates
5.6.0.
$RE{net}{MAC}{dec}{-sep}
Returns a pattern that matches a valid MAC address as colon separated decimals.
If "-sep=P" is specified the pattern P is used as the separator. By default P is "qr/:/".
$RE{net}{MAC}{hex}{-sep}
Returns a pattern that matches a valid MAC address as colon separated hexadecimals, with
the letters "a" to "f" in lower case.
If "-sep=P" is specified the pattern P is used as the separator. By default P is "qr/:/".
$RE{net}{MAC}{oct}{-sep}
Returns a pattern that matches a valid MAC address as colon separated octals.
If "-sep=P" is specified the pattern P is used as the separator. By default P is "qr/:/".
$RE{net}{MAC}{bin}{-sep}
Returns a pattern that matches a valid MAC address as colon separated binary numbers.
If "-sep=P" is specified the pattern P is used as the separator. By default P is "qr/:/".
$RE{net}{domain}
Returns a pattern to match domains (and hosts) as defined in RFC 1035. Under I{-keep}
only the entire domain name is returned.
RFC 1035 says that a single space can be a domainname too. So, the pattern returned by
$RE{net}{domain} recognizes a single space as well. This is not always what people want.
If you want to recognize domainnames, but not a space, you can do one of two things,
either use
/(?! )$RE{net}{domain}/
or use the "{-nospace}" option (without an argument).

Revision 2.104 2004/06/30 15:11:29 abigail
Discuss unwanted matching
Revision 2.103 2004/06/09 21:47:01 abigail

Revision 2.102 2003/03/12 22:26:35 abigail
-nospace switch for domain names
Revision 2.101 2003/02/01 22:55:31 abigail
Changed Copyright years
Revision 2.100 2003/01/21 23:19:40 abigail
The whole world understands RCS/CVS version numbers, that 1.9 is an
older version than 1.10. Except CPAN. Curse the idiot(s) who think
that version numbers are floats (in which universe do floats have
more than one decimal dot?).
Everything is bumped to version 2.100 because CPAN couldn't deal
with the fact one file had version 1.10.
Revision 1.8 2003/01/10 11:03:28 abigail
Added complete CVS history.
Revision 1.7 2002/08/05 22:02:06 abigail
Typo fix.
Revision 1.6 2002/08/05 20:36:10 abigail
Added $RE{net}{domain}
Revision 1.5 2002/08/05 12:16:59 abigail
Fixed 'Regex::' and 'Rexexp::' typos to 'Regexp::' (Found my Mike Castle).
Revision 1.4 2002/08/01 10:00:01 abigail
Got rid of the split // in the "subs" method of MAC addresses with
configurable seperator, as this may lead to incorrect results (for
instance, if the separator is the empty string).
Revision 1.3 2002/07/31 23:27:57 abigail
Added regexes for MAC addresses.
Revision 1.2 2002/07/28 22:57:59 abigail
Tests to pinpoint a bug in Regexp::Common's _decache.
Revision 1.1 2002/07/25 23:53:38 abigail
Factored out of Regexp::Common.
