    Config::IPFilter::Rule->new(access_level => 255,
                                lower        => '0.0.0.0',
                                upper        => '255.255.255.255',
                                description  => 'teh innernetz'
    );

# Hide in a cave
$rule->set_access_level(126);

IPv6 is also supported...

use Config::IPFilter::Rule;
my $rule = Config::IPFilter::Rule->new(
       access_level => 255,
       upper        => 'ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff',
       lower        => '::',  # ojai
       description  => 'teh innernetz'

$filter->is_banned('2001:db8::');    # It, and everything else, is banned

upper

This is the address at the highest end of this range.

lower

This is the address at the lowest end of this range.

$filter->access_level( )

Returns the access level currently defined for this range. See Config::IPFilter->is_banned( ... ).

$filter->set_access_level( $value )

Sets the access level for this range.

$filter->increase_access_level( [ $inc ] )

Sets the access level for this range $inc degrees higher. The default value of $inc is 1.

$filter->decrease_access_level( [ $dec ] )

Sets the access level for this range $dec degrees lower. The default value of $dec is 1.

$filter->in_range( $address )

If the given address is within this rule's range, a true value is returned otherwise a false value is returned.
