I've been trying to analyse your module for awhile now; however, I've encountered some problems. The biggest problem, at least on my system, is that Net::Pcap won't compile on my shared perls, 5.8.8, 5.9.5, and 5.10.0. I have two static perls, ActivePerl-5.8 and ActivePerl-5.10, and Net::Pcap compiled ok on them.

I ran your module using diagnostics. It didn't spit out any error messages. How about some code to see if it works?

Lastly, I'd recommend the Perl and Net::Pcap tutorial by rob_au to get some more ideas.

update: I checked the bugs on rt. The module's author suggested trying Net::Pcap 0.14. I tried it on my shared perls, and it installed on all three. Now, my problem is with dhcpd. I'm on FC6 and it should start by running /sbin/service dhcpd start, but it doesn't. I'm redoing all the config files now.
