Subject: Addition of a constant does not work as documented
Documentation of NetAddr::IP states: Addition of a constant ("+") Add a 32 bit signed constant to the address part of a NetAddr object. This operation changes the address part to point so many hosts above the current objects start address. For instance, this code: print NetAddr::IP::Lite->new('127.0.0.1') + 5; will output 127.0.0.6/8. But in reality the output is 127.0.0.1/32. Does something change and documentation should be fixed or it is bug?

This is a documentation issue. New version uploaded with documentation corrected. Should read ->new('127.0.0.1/8') Trying to add a constant to an IP address with a network size of "1" does not get you anywhere. When no netmask is specified the default is a /32
