# 
# Once upon a time, way back in the 1980s, I put an IPv4 netmask table
# together that took off and seems to be copied and published all
# over the net now.  (Just google "pozar" and "netmasks".) Back then
# I hand built this table.  A friend wanted an expanded table to any
# size netmask.  Instead of hand coding this again, I wrote this perl
# script...
#
# Just change the "$base_netmask_size" to what ever you want it to
# start out on and refernce as a the "base" netmask that is subnetting.
