Just FYI, this isn't much like the Travelling Salesman Problem (or TSP) as that requires a path that visits every node in the network, usually for a minimum cost (there are many variations, such as using each link only once, etc.) which is probably not what you are after. In any case you should find some valuable tools on the CPAN in Graph as Fletch advises.

Update: Graph is not so complicated, though you could argue it is overkill for this simple example:

use strict; use warnings; use Graph; my $net = Graph::Undirected->new; # links go both ways my $start = '1.2.3.4'; my $end = '1.2.3.6'; while(<DATA>) { chomp(my($from,$to) = (split /\s+[^\d.]+\s+/)[0,1]); if($net->has_edge($from,$to) ) { print "duplication of $from to $to\n"; # shows Graph understands u +ndirected links }else{ $net->add_edge($from, $to); print "link from $from to $to added\n"; } } print "the nodes are: ", join(', ', sort $net->vertices), "\n"; print "the links are: ",$net, "\n"; print "a shortest path from $start to $end is: ", join ' => ', $net->S +P_Dijkstra($start,$end); __DATA__ 1.2.3.4 links with 1.2.3.5 1.2.3.5 links with 1.2.3.4 1.2.3.5 links with 1.2.3.6 1.2.3.6 links with 1.2.3.5 1.2.3.6 links with 1.2.3.7 1.2.3.7 links with 1.2.3.6 1.2.3.7 links with 1.2.3.4 1.2.3.4 links with 1.2.3.7 1.2.3.5 links with 1.2.3.7 1.2.3.7 links with 1.2.3.5
produces:
link from 1.2.3.4 to 1.2.3.5 added duplication of 1.2.3.5 to 1.2.3.4 link from 1.2.3.5 to 1.2.3.6 added duplication of 1.2.3.6 to 1.2.3.5 link from 1.2.3.6 to 1.2.3.7 added duplication of 1.2.3.7 to 1.2.3.6 link from 1.2.3.7 to 1.2.3.4 added duplication of 1.2.3.4 to 1.2.3.7 link from 1.2.3.5 to 1.2.3.7 added duplication of 1.2.3.7 to 1.2.3.5 the nodes are: 1.2.3.4, 1.2.3.5, 1.2.3.6, 1.2.3.7 the links are: 1.2.3.4=1.2.3.5,1.2.3.4=1.2.3.7,1.2.3.5=1.2.3.6,1.2.3.5 +=1.2.3.7,1.2.3.6=1.2.3.7 a shortest path from 1.2.3.4 to 1.2.3.6 is: 1.2.3.4 => 1.2.3.7 => 1.2. +3.6

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
