+This Perl5 module is designed as a help for managing (ranges
+of) IP addresses. It includes efficient implementations for most
+common tasks done to subnets or ranges of IP addresses, namely
+verifying if an address is within a subnet, comparing, looping,
+splitting subnets into longer prefixes, compacting addresses to
+the shortest prefixes, etc. Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are
+supported.
