Net::RawIP on Win32 - Install problems

NetWallah has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm having trouble trying to install Net-RawIP-0.1 on Windows XP. Does anyone (Podmaster?) have a binary distribution I can use ? I get the same issues with the older 0.09b version.

Here is what some of my woes look like:

F:\download\Programming\Perl\Net-RawIP-0.1>perl Makefile.PL
Sorry,ethernet related methods are not implemented on this system
Sorry, the ifaddrlist function is not imlemented on this system
Sorry, the rdev function is not imlemented on this system
Note (probably harmless): No library found for '-lpcap'

F:\download\Programming\Perl\Net-RawIP-0.1>nmake test

+.h': No such file or directory

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cl' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

OK - so I created the 'sys/cdefs.h' by copying the source from cygwin, then it complained about 'pcap.h'. I got that from the pcap distribution, and now it wants 'sys/time.h'. and this:

f:\download\Programming\Perl\Net-RawIP-0.09b\ifaddrlist.h(3) : error C
+2061: syntax error : identifier 'u_int32_t'
f:\download\Programming\Perl\Net-RawIP-0.09b\ifaddrlist.h(6) : error C
+2059: syntax error : '}'

NetWallah, Have you seen WinPcap? I did a search for Cygwin & pcap and that's what I came up with. Unfortunately I do not have the required permissions at work to see if this would allow Net::Pcap or Net::RawIP to install, but I am betting you will have to mess with the Makefile anyway. By default it wants to link to -lpcap which I believe will need to change to -lwpcap. Sorry I couldn't be more help. I did check crazyinsomniac's repository and it doesn't look like one is available, though you could make a request. Cheers - L~R	[reply]

Thanks, Limbic~Region - I already have WinPcap, and Net::Pcap installed, and working fine. Crazy's repository does not have any Net:: modules. Yes - a request will be my next step.

Hmm - I got a very cryptic reply from Crazy, containing only a link to http://crazyinsomniac.perlmonk.org/perl/ppm/README.html. Wonder what he wanted me to see there - could someone interpret it for me ? - I feel thick today. "Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again."
