    Do you have libpcap installed? I'm not sure whether libpcap supports sending raw IP packets on Win32. But as you do not tell us what exact problems you encounter when trying to install Net::RawIP via ppm, it's hard to guess.

      How do I install libpcap? And where do I find it or can download it? I am using win32.
        How do I install libpcap?

        Forget about libpcap - it's not for windows.
        As per the link re Net::Pcap for Win32 posted by Anonymous Monk yesterday:
        1) install WinPcap;
        2) ppm install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Net-Pcap.ppd

        That's the best you'll currently get. (The bribes repo has Net::Pcap ppm packages for perls 5.6, 5.8, 5.10 and 5.12.)

    Assuming you're on Windows, you won't - nor will you do it by any other method (afaik).
    As already mentioned, it requires libpcap, and that library won't build on Windows.
