NAME

Data::Validate::IP - ip validation methods

SYNOPSIS

   use Data::Validate::IP qw(is_ipv4);
   
   if(is_ipv4($suspect)){
         print "Looks like an ip address";
   } else {
         print "Not an ip address\n";
   }
   
 
   # or as an object
   my $v = Data::Validate::IP->new();
   
   die "not an ip" unless ($v->is_ipv4('domain.com'));

DESCRIPTION

This module collects ip validation routines to make input validation, and untainting easier and more readable.

All functions return an untainted value if the test passes, and undef if it fails. This means that you should always check for a defined status explicitly. Don't assume the return will be true. (e.g. is_username('0'))

The value to test is always the first (and often only) argument.

FUNCTIONS

new - constructor for OO usage
   $obj = Data::Validate::IP->new();
Description
Returns a Data::Validator::IP object. This lets you access all the validator function calls as methods without importing them into your namespace or using the clumsy Data::Validate::IP::function_name() format.
Arguments
None
Returns
Returns a Data::Validate::IP object
is_ipv4 - does the value look like an ip v4 address?
   is_ipv4($value);
   or
   $obj->is_ipv4($value);
Description
Returns the untainted ip address if the test value appears to be a well-formed ip address.
Arguments
$value
The potential ip to test.
Returns
Returns the untainted ip on success, undef on failure.
Notes, Exceptions, & Bugs
The function does not make any attempt to check whether an ip actually exists. It only looks to see that the format is appropriate.
is_private_ipv4 - is it a valid private ipv4 address
   is_private_ipv4($value);
   or
   $obj->is_private_ipv4($value);
Description
Returns the untainted ip address if the test value appears to be a well-formed private ip address.
Arguments
$value
The potential ip to test.
Returns
Returns the untainted ip on success, undef on failure.
Notes, Exceptions, & Bugs
The function does not make any attempt to check whether an ip actually exists.
From RFC 3330
    10.0.0.0/8 - This block is set aside for use in private networks.
    Its intended use is documented in [RFC1918].  Addresses within this
    block should not appear on the public Internet.
 
    172.16.0.0/12 - This block is set aside for use in private networks.
    Its intended use is documented in [RFC1918].  Addresses within this
    block should not appear on the public Internet.
 
    192.168.0.0/16 - This block is set aside for use in private networks.
    Its intended use is documented in [RFC1918].  Addresses within this
    block should not appear on the public Internet.
is_loopback_ipv4 - is it a valid loopback ipv4 address
   is_loopback_ipv4($value);
   or
   $obj->is_loopback_ipv4($value);
Description
Returns the untainted ip address if the test value appears to be a well-formed loopback ip address.
Arguments
$value
The potential ip to test.
Returns
Returns the untainted ip on success, undef on failure.
Notes, Exceptions, & Bugs
The function does not make any attempt to check whether an ip actually exists.
From RFC 3330
    127.0.0.0/8 - This block is assigned for use as the Internet host
    loopback address.  A datagram sent by a higher level protocol to an
    address anywhere within this block should loop back inside the host.
    This is ordinarily implemented using only 127.0.0.1/32 for loopback,
    but no addresses within this block should ever appear on any network
    anywhere [RFC1700, page 5].
is_testnet_ipv4 - is it a valid testnet ipv4 address
   is_testnet_ipv4($value);
   or
   $obj->is_testnet_ipv4($value);
Description
Returns the untainted ip address if the test value appears to be a well-formed testnet ip address.
Arguments
$value
The potential ip to test.
Returns
Returns the untainted ip on success, undef on failure.
Notes, Exceptions, & Bugs
The function does not make any attempt to check whether an ip actually exists.
From RFC 3330
    192.0.2.0/24 - This block is assigned as "TEST-NET" for use in
    documentation and example code.  It is often used in conjunction with
    domain names example.com or example.net in vendor and protocol
    documentation.  Addresses within this block should not appear on the
    public Internet.
is_multicast_ipv4 - is it a valid multicast ipv4 address
   is_multicast_ipv4($value);
   or
   $obj->is_multicast_ipv4($value);
Description
Returns the untainted ip addres if the test value appears to be a well-formed multicast ip address.
Arguments
$value
The potential ip to test.
Returns
Returns the untainted ip on success, undef on failure.
Notes, Exceptions, & Bugs
The function does not make any attempt to check whether an ip actually exists.
From RFC 3330
    224.0.0.0/4 - This block, formerly known as the Class D address
    space, is allocated for use in IPv4 multicast address assignments.
    The IANA guidelines for assignments from this space are described in
    [RFC3171].
is_linklocal_ipv4 - is it a valid link-local ipv4 address
   is_linklocal_ipv4($value);
   or
   $obj->is_linklocal_ipv4($value);
Description
Returns the untainted ip addres if the test value appears to be a well-formed link-local ip address.
Arguments
$value
The potential ip to test.
Returns
Returns the untainted ip on success, undef on failure.
Notes, Exceptions, & Bugs
The function does not make any attempt to check whether an ip actually exists.
From RFC 3330
    169.254.0.0/16 - This is the "link local" block.  It is allocated for
    communication between hosts on a single link.  Hosts obtain these
    addresses by auto-configuration, such as when a DHCP server may not
    be found.
is_public_ipv4 - is it a valid public ipv4 address
   is_public_ipv4($value);
   or
   $obj->is_public_ipv4($value);
Description
Returns the untainted ip address if the test value appears to be a well-formed public ip address.
Arguments
$value
The potential ip to test.
Returns
Returns the untainted ip on success, undef on failure.
Notes, Exceptions, & Bugs
The function does not make any attempt to check whether an ip actually exists or could truly route. This is true for any non- private/testnet/loopback ip.
