NAME

       Net::Write - a portable interface to open and send raw data to network

DESCRIPTION

       Net::Write provides a portable interface to open a network interface, and be able to write raw data directly to the network. It juste
       provides three methods when a Net::Write object has been created for an interface: open, send, close.

       It is possible to open a network interface to send frames at layer 2 (you craft a frame from link layer), or at layer 3 (you craft a frame
       from network layer), or at layer 4 (you craft a frame from transport layer).

       NOTE: not all operating systems support all layer opening. Currently, Windows only supports opening and sending at layer 2. Other Unix
       systems should be able to open and send at all layers.

NAME

       Net::Write::Layer2 - object for a link layer (layer 2) descriptor

SYNOPSIS

	  use Net::Write::Layer2;

	  my $desc = Net::Write::Layer2->new(
	     dev => 'eth0',
	  );

	  $desc->open;
	  $desc->send('G'x666);
	  $desc->close;

DESCRIPTION

       This is the class for creating a layer 2 descriptor.

ATTRIBUTES

       dev The string specifying network interface to use.

	   Under Unix-like systems, this is in this format: w+d+ (example: eth0).

	   Under Windows systems, this is more complex; example: DeviceNPF_{0749A9BC-C665-4C55-A4A7-34AC2FBAB70F}

METHODS

       new Object constructor. You MUST pass a valid dev attribute. There is no default value.

       open
	   Open the interface.

       send (scalar)
	   Send raw data to the network.

       close
	   Close the descriptor.

CAVEATS

       Writing junk to loopback interface on BSD systems will not work.
