Hmm....  Found some issues (shortcomings, whatever) with the API to 
Net::CIDR::Lite.

First is that when you pass it bad parameters, it emits a message via 
"confess", but doesn't
bomb out or have an indicative return value...

The second issue is that you can't add_range("0.0.0.0/0") as a "catch-all".

And lastly, it wasn't clear how you store into an element a reference to 
further external
data that tells you what to do with that node (i.e. continue, discard, 
reject, ... a specific
message to give with the reject, etc).

Sigh.

Contacted the author...
