[Koha-patches] Bug 14407 - Limit web-based self-checkout to specific IP addresses

[Nicholas van Rheede van Oudtshoorn]

Greetings everyone,

As I'm still very much a perl newbie, I'd love to get some feedback on a
patch I just pushed to bug 14407 (my own bug!) We use Self-Checkout here
<http://library.pbc.wa.edu.au/>, with users just having to scan their
barcode to take books out. Our OPAC is also live over the internet. That
means that anyone who knows Koha, can access the self-checkout from off
campus! This patch adds a preference allowing one to limit access to those
pages to specific IP addresses or ranges. I've used  Net::IP::Match::XS to
do the heavy lifting - is there another library that Koha already uses to
do the same sort of thing?

Thanks in advance,
Nick
