I'd look at Wireshark and the library it uses, `libpcap`. For Perl, there is Net::Pcap and Net::IMP. If this is more for service monitoring, I'd look at AnyEvent, as doing pings, DNS queries etc. without needing threads means using AnyEvent.	[reply] [d/l]

G'day fionbarr, Perhaps look through the Networking Section of CPAN. The core Net::* modules may also be of interest. -- Ken	[reply]

Not sure what you mean by this. If you want to query switches and routers for traffic statistics, you probably need Net::SNMP.	[reply]
