After some discussion with merlyn on IRC, I came up with the following.

use Socket;

my $str = "";

while(<>) {
  chomp;
  my ($ip,$bits) = m,^(\d+(?:\.\d+){3})/(\d+)$, or next;
  $str .= ";" . unpack("B*",inet_aton($ip));
  substr($str,-$bits) = "#" x $bits if $bits = 32 - $bits;
}
$str .= ";";
1 while $str =~ s/;([01]+)0(#*);\1.\2;/;${1}#${2};/g;

my @blocks = $str =~ /[10#]+/g;

foreach my $block (@blocks) {
  my $bits = 32 - ($block =~ tr/#/0/);
  print inet_ntoa(pack("B*", $block)),"/$bits\n";
}

Which actually, I think, shows some errors in 3 .out files on your site

Update:

That code does not handle the following case

101.33.45.27/30

use Socket;

my @blocks;

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
