I was about to dismiss this as a silly idea, but the voice in the back of my head went "You know, the obvious answer might not be quite as daft as it first seems".

Although, due to what I'm trapping, I can't really pull the packets into perl and use it to work it out - they do happen to be, currently, all on different ports - which, of course, tcpdump clearly shows. I don't even need to mess with Net::Pcap and it's screwing with SIGALRM - I can simply use my existing implementation with a few extra nuts and bolts. I think.

Thank you for the probably obvious, but nevertheless gratefully received, suggestion.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
