Net::Connection::Sniffer::Util is a lite weight perl module to do NetAddr::IP like operations on ip addresses in either 32 or 128 bit formats.
my $ip = newcidr24;

Create a blessed address object with cidr/24 network/broadcast bounds (assumes 32 bit addressing), for ipv6, this will be cidr/120
my $ipcopy = $ip->copy;

Copy a blessed network address object to a new blessed object;
Returns undef if $ip is not a Net::Connection::Sniffer::Util object.
$rv = $someip->within($ip);

Check to see if $someip is within the cidr of $ip. i.e.

network address <= $someip <= broadcast address
input: ip object for range check
returns: true if within, else false

Returns undef if $someip and $ip are not Net::Connection::Sniffer::Util objects.
$rv = $ip->contains($someip);

Check to see if $ip is within the cidr range of $someip. i.e.

This is the logical compliment of the within method.
$rv = $ip1->equal($ip2);

Check if IP1 equal IP2
input: ip2 object
returns: true/false
