Re: new bug fix release of prtraceroute

The -g flag stopped working with these new fixes. Hence a fast kludge
patch.

Basically quad2int should not die if passed a string which is what it
does here. There is probably a more elegent way of acheiving what I
think you were actually looking for in the code than what I did but
this will do the trick.

* Hi all,
*
* After getting tired of the requests why prtraceroute didn't do what people
* hoped it should do, I fixed some of the bugs... (and found some new ones).
*
* It's highly recommended to upgrade since this release also does a better
* job in skipping funny modern objects that caused the impression that the
* whole Internet was in AS1800... and yes the software runs with perl5 now.
*
* The code is available from:
*
* ftp://ftp.ripe.net/pride/tools/prtraceroute-2.0beta4.tar.gz
*
*
* If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me agai
* n,

* Kind regards,

* New in 2.0 BETA 4
*
* 1. new quad2int routine due to perl5 problems with bit shifts and
* some other minor perl5 fixes
* This version is supposed to work with perl5 now
* Note that the other PRIDE tools don't!!!!
* 2. removed hardcoded SOCKSTREAM (for Solaris) and port value
* 3. The tool skips now route objects with origin=AS0
* 4. The tool skips now route objects with prefix 'x.x.x.x/0-5'
* 5. The inet-rtr lookup works again (did nobody notice that the
* RIPE whois server doesn't support use of two '-T' options...)
* 6. More robust code for interfacing with different versions of
* traceroute. Note that more robust doesn't mean good code,
* there is still some work left...
* 7. The AS macro expansion didn't work with AS lists that contained
* other AS macros
* 8. The policy evaluator had a bug which has been worked around.
