Hello,
I am still not sure what you are trying to solve here.
&network2bin() has two possible return values:
- An array with two values
Or
- Undefined
No. It's called in array context so the return value in the latter case is the list ( undef ).
You are now checking if you have an array with any length but two, but this won’t work for undefined. That should at least print a warning that you are trying to determine the length of an undefined array.
So why is this change needed?
Partly because the return value is an array and partly because the original code checked the scalar variables $bin1 and $bin2 rather than the arrays @bin1 and @bin2 containing the return values; since these scalars aren't used anywhere, network_equal() always returned undef, which is actually the root cause of my original problem.

Check result of network2bin is correct rather than checking non-existent variable.
