It is always an iffy proposition to open a bug in the CPAN RT (https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=179191) when all the unresolved tickets for a module are years old and all the resolved ones are far older.
Anyway: if the latest Net::CIDR::Lite update broke your use of it, apply the simple fix in that ticket. Who knows when it will actually get addressed in the canonical version…

I felt a shudder in the fabric of spacetime as a million shell scripts choked on the 5th digit.
No, really, creating a login role account so multiple people can have access to support a system is very bad.

LOL…
Just wasted most of a day and all of my capacity for diplomacy on a customer whose problem amounted to “Microsoft has a feature I dislike.”
It’s called “Focused Inbox” and while I also now believe it to be a flawed feature, I believe that it provides some users with something they want, and that their provider of $REDACTED just has to deal with not being that important to users…
ALSO: The "raw unmodified email message" does NOT mean what you get from "view source" on your Outlook Web Access UI.
I weep for the state of the computing workforce.
#PSA: When your email admin asks you clearly and explicitly for a copy of a raw original email message that is problematic sent to them as an attachment for analysis, they DO NOT mean just hit 'forward' in Outlook & go home for the day.
If you do this, expect them to metaphorically pants you in a reply-all for not following basic simple instructions.
ALSO: If you work in a technical field that ever involves sending email, you should have a basic understanding of RFC532{1,2} .

Web server DDoS has made me resort to:
A cron job launches a simple while loop which once every 90 seconds kills all running processes named $x and $y, processes which are launched by the (valid) URLs being hit, which generate oom-kills of random processes otherwise. It runs for 900 minutes (15 hours) during the period when the DDoS is most intense. Needed to allow other important stuff to run.
Whoever is behind this insanity needs to die in a fire as soon as possible.

“Seem” is a favorite word…
The machine was gummed up to the point where fail2ban saw my failed logins as an attack.
