Looking at Auffret's Net/Packet examples for version 2.0.4, eg.,
http://search.cpan.org/src/GOMOR/Net-Packet-2.04/examples/read-pcap.pl
I'm wondering if I can get pcap header information (in particular the tv_sec and tv_usec fields) directly from the Dump.pm module rather than through independent uses of Net::Pcap.

I am asking this since I had read a while back that Patrice Auffret wanted to bundle Net::Pcap up as a part of Net::Packet and also I see that the Dump.pm in this package does use the Net::Pcap software. I see a reference to a pcap hdr hash at line 217 of Dump.pm, but don't know how (or if) I can access it externally. I'd be grateful for any assistance/advice.

Edit: g0n - linkified link
