I couldn't get that code running

just wondering if I need to dig into eth_obj->(data) more to pull out what this packets and its roll is at the application layer?

What part did you have trouble with ? Any error messages ?

If you un-comment the lines below, it will print packets as they arrive.

    #print("RcvPkt Totlen(PacketLen) $hdr->{len}($hdr->{caplen})" .
    #  "\t Time.Usec=$hour:$min:$sec.$hdr->{tv_usec}\n");

If you capture packets, you can control-feed them into the program (read pcap docs), and run the "perl -d <program>" debugger, and examine data as you go.
