An equivalent “netstat” Perl Module.

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

Holy Monks

I have been tasked with gathering some netstat information on a bunch of Windows and *NIX boxes. I suppose I can use netstate and some switches to capture the output, then with aid of regx or something I can filter the output to get the bits that I need. But I just thought; is there a pure Perl module that I can use on both Windows and Linux/Unix boxes that does the same and I can have more control on the returened data?

Regards

Blackadder

But I just thought; is there a pure Perl module that I can use on both Windows and Linux/Unix boxes that does the same (as netstat) Have you tried Net::Netstat::Wrapper ? and I can have more control on the returened data? More control in what way? If you get back all data from `netstat` you can always filter the data further yourself using grep. -David	[reply] [d/l]
