I don't know of an OSPF module, and if there was one in circulation suitable for use I would expect it to be at CPAN.

It would be an intriguing project to develop though. A good starting point would be Net::BGP, especially the use of an event loop and callbacks on receipt of relevant packets. That would cover the need for code to be constantly on the lookout for hellos and LSAs.

You don't state what you are looking for an OSPF module to do: simply monitoring and parsing OSPF packets shouldn't be too horrible to implement. Writing a module to act as a DR/BDR could be rather tricker.
