Subject: contains() and within() should check the address family
Hello, Just played around a bit and noticed that the following check works for every IPv4 address: use NetAddr::IP; my $net_a = NetAddr::IP->new('::', 0) or die; my $net_b = NetAddr::IP->new('1.2.3.4') or die; print "V6 contains V4\n" if ($net_a->contains($net_b)); In my opinion it should be checked if both NetAddr::IP objects have the same address family or version. -- Matthias

NetAddr::IP documentation says: The internal representation of all IP objects is in 128 bit IPv6 notation. IPv4 and IPv6 objects may be freely mixed. The "notation" of IPv4 or IPv6 does not change where in the address space the particular IP address resides. In your example, 1.2.3.4 is included in ::/0 which includes all IPv4 address space.
