perl-Net-Packet - a framework to easily send and receive frames from layer 2 to layer 7

Description:
This module is a unified framework to craft, send and receive packets at layers 2, 3, 4 and 7.

Basically, you forge each layer of a frame (Net::Packet::IPv4 for layer 3, Net::Packet::TCP for layer 4; for example), and pack all of this into a Net::Packet::Frame object. Then, you can send the frame to the network, and receive its response easily, because the response is automatically searched for and matched against the request (not implemented for all layers).

If you want some layer 2, 3 or 4 protocol encoding/decoding to be added, just ask, and give a corresponding .pcap file ;). You can also subscribe to netpacket-users@gomor.org by sumply sending an e-mail requesting for it.

You should study various pod found in all classes, example files found in examples directory that come with this tarball, and also tests in t directory.
