in reply to Net::Libnet Module Installation

You may be missing a C-library on your system.

And installing modules by hand can be a lot of tedious work.

Try the CPAN-shell for that:

perl -MCPAN -e shell
and then at the prompt:
cpan[1]> install Net::Packet

      You can check the documentation of the CPAN-module with "perldoc CPAN".

      It uses some configuration variables that you can set (at the shell-prompt) with "o conf <variable> <value>".

      After you've made changes you need to commit them with "o conf commit".

      To use a proxy (I think) you need to set the variables "http_proxy" (maybe also "ftp_proxy") and possibly (if you have to authenticate at the proxy) "proxy_user" and "poxy_pass".

      So try (at the prompt you get with "perl -MCPAN -e shell" 

      o conf http_proxy <your proxy>
o conf http_user <your proxy-user>
o conf http_pass <your proxy-password>
o conf commit

      [download]

      and it should work.
