Thanks for the assist. I was able to pull the IP.pm from the source and copy it to .../site/lib/NetAddr and it seems to be working. I stumbled across NetAddr::IP and found that it handles the addressing and subnetting in such a manner to make it easy to use whatever kind of input I get from the user.
This is my first jump into manipulating addresses and sadly enough Net::IP may do the trick for me as well, and I already had it installed. So many modules, so much to learn. Again, many thanks for the help.
