[Dbix-class] new module: DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::IP

[Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker]

Hi all,

I've just hacked up my first ever Perl module headed for CPAN:
DBIx::Class::InflateColumn:IP, which inflates IP address columns to
NetAddr::IP objects. Currently it only supports addresses stored as
integers in the database; netmask support and more flexible storage
format options are on the TODO list.

Without further ado, Here's the SYNOPSIS section of the POD:

       Load this component and declare integer columns as IP addresses.

           package Host;
           __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/InflateColumn::IP Core/);
           __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
               ip_address => {
                   data_type => ’integer’,
                   is_nullable => 0,
                   is_ip => 1,
               }
           );

       Then you can treat the specified column as a NetAddr::IP object.

           print ’IP address: ’, $host->ip_address->ip;
           print ’Address type: ’, $host->ip_address->iptype;


While I wait for my PAUSE id application to come through I would be
delighed if anyone would care to take a look at the code and comment on
any mistakes I might have made. It can be checked out from SVN (thanks
Matt!) at
