First off, I'm relatively new to perl and just about everything about it. So I'm sorry if anything I say/do is just plain stupid, please forgive my ignorance, it is the very reason why I am here.

I'm having trouble installing the net-pcap module with activeperl. I have the module itself although even after reading the readme and searching the internet I still can't figure out how to install it. But I did find out that activeperl handles all module installs using ppm. I tried searching for a ppm but the only one that comes up using the filter "pcap" is a dump module. I need the pcap module so I can use pcap-getiv.pl. As it is now when i run it i get an error (line 27) that net::pcap cannot be found.

I'm trying to test my wireless security and various places on the internet pointed me to WEPcrack. The weakiv generator and the crack work just fine, but the pcap-getiv.pl requires net::pcap module.

I would greatly appreciate any help/tutorial that is relatively simple/straightfoward.

Thank you for your time.

Problem solved, thank you very much.
