Maybe this will help. `#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Net::Frame::Simple; use Net::Frame::Layer::ICMPv6::Echo; my $echo = Net::Frame::Layer::ICMPv6::Echo->new( 'payload' => 'echo'); my $echoReq = Net::Frame::Simple->new( 'layers' => [$echo]); print $echoReq->print."\n";` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks everyone. I will look more into Net::Frame. I need to be able to send this packet out the NIC and not print it. I take it Net::Frame can do this as well?	[reply]

kudos on your interest in IPv6... I'll be monitoring this thread for its responses, as I have significant interest in the protocol. I've yet needed any modules for a specific IPv6 task, as I've (so far, thankfully) been able to use the underlying OS to do its bidding for me. Good luck! Steve	[reply]
