Net::IPNetMember.pm - Determine which IP network an IP address is member of.

Net::IPNetMember allows to create groups of IP networks and to check
which IP network a given IP address belongs to. This version works
with CIDR prefix notation and allows overlapping networks. In this
case, the most specific match is returned.

This is an early draft and has not received exhaustive testing, but it
seems to mostly work ok. There are many features that were not developed
but could, and that would improve the code in many aspects. I will try
to maintain compatibility with the public interface in case future 
versions are developed.

Installation: unzip and untar the distribution and move into its
directory. Then the usual

  perl Makefile.PL
  make
  make test
  make install

I offered Andre my code to incorporate into Net::GrpNetworks, but
unfortunately, he stopped answering to my e-mails before anything
could be accomplished. Hence, I had to fork. I still think that both
code bases should be brought together again, but responsive upstream
is needed for that.
