in reply to Perl module need regular maintenance. They are not functioning as desired to be.

I concur with LanX. What's your question? Perlmonks is not a bugtracker; bugs in Net::Packet should be reported here.

That said, I'm 99.9% sure this isn't one. Look at the message you're getting. The reason you can't install Net::Packet is that several modules it depends on are not present, among them Net::Write. The reason that can't be installed is that Net::Pcap is either not present or not working.

I assume that after your problems with Net::Pcap (Not able to install Net::Pcap in MAC OS Mavericks), you force installed it? Don't do that, unless you really know what you're doing; if the tests are failing, there's a reason for that, and the module should most likely not be installed.

I'd suggest going back to Net::Pcap and trying to get that installed properly. We might even be able to help, as long as post your question effectively:

In particular, please share the messages you're getting -- all of them.

    I've reported the issue i've encountered through CPAN bug reporting system. I was not sure, why there is an error with Net::Pcap. It was installed successfully and was working. Issue started only when I tried installing Net::Packet module. I'm working on 2 OS system. First in Windows 7 and second on MAC OS. These is observed on both OS platform. I though I may get help from perlmonks. I apologize if my posting was rude. Here is the complete installation mechanism. Please refer.

You appear to lack the WinPcap developer pack.

If it is installed in a non-standard location, please try setting the 
+LIBS
and INC values on the command line.  For instance, if you have unziped
+ the
developer's pack in C:\WpdPack, you should execute:

    perl Makefile.PL INC=-IC:/WpdPack/Include "LIBS=-LC:/WpdPack/Lib -
+lwpcap"

Or get and install the WinPcap developer's pack from
  http://www.winpcap.org/install/

You appear to lack the WinPcap developer pack.

If it is installed in a non-standard location, please try setting the 
+LIBS
and INC values on the command line.  For instance, if you have unziped
+ the
developer's pack in C:\WpdPack, you should execute:

    perl Makefile.PL INC=-IC:/WpdPack/Include "LIBS=-LC:/WpdPack/Lib -
+lwpcap"

Or get and install the WinPcap developer's pack from
  http://www.winpcap.org/install/

      It appears that you either do not have libpcap installed, or alternatively only the library itself as a binary, without the extra files needed to compile applications using this library. You're using a Windows machine, right? Are you using WinPcap? If so, I'd suggest installing the developer's pack. If not, I can't give you any specific tips -- I don't have any experience doing software development on Windows --, but you'll need the relevant libpcap files to be able to install this module.

      The same goes for libdnet, as far as I can tell.

      Good luck!

        Thanks for suggestions. I'll try in my Windows machine. Meanwhile, I've another Windows machine and trying to install Perl Module Net::Packet. Getting this errors. I've manually downloaded all tar files (Socket6-0.25, Net-Libdnet-0.98, Net-Packet-3.27). Please let me know how to get successfully install Net::Packet and get my developement environment ready.
