Available now from a CPAN near you.  Net::Pcap is a Perl interface to
the LBL pcap(3) library for packet capture systems.  Version 0.03 is a
re-implementation of Peter Lister's original version and contains the
following improvements:

	- all pcap library functions fully implemented

	- various bug fixes

	- packet header and statistical information passed as
	  "native" perl hashes

	- POD documentation

The source code for the LBL pcap library can be found at
ftp://ftp.ee.lbl.gov/libpcap.tar.Z.  If you're running Linux, there
should be a packaged up version of libpcap available for your system.
Check the nearest mirror site of your favourite distribution.

Tim.
