How can I generate a range of IP addresses in Perl?

Question

I need to generate a list of IP-addresses (IPv4) in Perl. I have start and end addresses, for example 1.1.1.1 and 1.10.20.30. How can I print all the addresses inbetween?

TMTOWTDI:

sub inc_ip { $_[0] = pack "N", 1 + unpack "N", $_[0] }
my $start = 1.1.1.1;
my $end = 1.10.20.30;
for ( $ip = $start; $ip le $end; inc_ip($ip) ) {
    printf "%vd\n", $ip;
}
