Title: Patricia Trie perl module for fast IP address lookups

Description:
This module uses a Patricia Trie data structure to quickly perform IP
address prefix matching for applications such as IP subnet, network or
routing table lookups. The data structure is based on a radix tree using a
radix of two, so sometimes you see patricia implementations called "radix"
as well. The term "Trie" is derived from the word "retrieval" but is
pronounced like "try". Patricia stands for "Practical Algorithm to Retrieve
Information Coded as Alphanumeric", and was first suggested for routing
table lookups by Van Jacobsen. Patricia Trie performance characteristics
are well-known as it has been employed for routing table lookups within the
BSD kernel since the 4.3 Reno release.

The BSD radix code is thoroughly described in "TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume
2" by Wright and Stevens and in the paper ``A Tree-Based Packet Routing
Table for Berkeley Unix'' by Keith Sklower.
