Simple enough:
This perl snippet will convert a dotted quad address into an integer:
# in the spirit of inet_aton(3) convert an address given as a dotted
# quad into an integer
sub inet_atoi ($) {
my $ipaddr = shift;
my @bytes;
@bytes = (
$ipaddr =~ /^(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01][0-9][0-9]|[0-9][0-9]|[0-9])\.
(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01][0-9][0-9]|[0-9][0-9]|[0-9])\.
(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01][0-9][0-9]|[0-9][0-9]|[0-9])\.
(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01][0-9][0-9]|[0-9][0-9]|[0-9])$/x
);
$ipaddr = 0;
for (@bytes) {
$ipaddr <<= 8;
$ipaddr += $_;
}
return $ipaddr;
}
There's a standard version of inet_aton() provided by the Socket
module (perldoc Socket), but that returns a packed string rather than
an integer value.
These three will print it out an integer in whatever appropriate
format:
# in the spirit of inet_ntoa(3) convert a network address expressed as
# an integer into the typical dotted-quad representation.
sub inet_itoa ($) {
my $ipaddr = shift;
my @bytes;
for ( 1 .. 4 ) {
unshift @bytes, $ipaddr & 0xff;
$ipaddr >>= 8;
}
return sprintf "%u.%u.%u.%u", @bytes;
}
# Display address as hex string
sub inet_itox ($) { return sprintf "%#x", $_[0]; }
# Display address as decimal integer
sub inet_itod ($) { return sprintf "%u", $_[0]; }
If you're not into perl programming, I wrote a little CGI or PHP
network calculator which you can slap into a website:
