NAME
Net::Route - Portable interface to the routing table
SYNOPSIS
use Net::Route::Table;
my $table_ref = Net::Route::Table->from_system();
my $route_ref = $table_ref->default_route();
print "Default gateway: ", $route_ref->gateway(), "\n";
VERSION
Version 0.02, $Revision: 372 $
DESCRIPTION
The Net::Route Module
Every OS provides its custom interface to the routing table: Linux' route
utility is different from BSD's route show
, from Windows' route print
, etc. Parsing all these different output styles in an (otherwise portable) script can quickly become inconvenient.
Net::Route abstracts the system specifics and provides a single, portable interface.
The Net::Route Class
Net::Route objects represent single entries from a Net::Route::Table.
INTERFACE
This documents Net::Route as a class. To know how to use the module, refer to the synopsis or Net::Route::Table (the entry point from a user perspective).
Object Methods
destination()
gateway()
metric()
interface()
is_active()
is_dynamic()
INSTALLING DEPENDENCIES ON SUN SOLARIS SYSTEMS WITH GCC
The perl interpreter shipped with Solaris was compiled with Sun's proprietary C compiler, and therefore attempts to compile XS modules with the same tool and options. However, Solaris comes by default with the GNU C Compiler (gcc
) only, which has its own set of incompatible command-line arguments. Mixing these two to compile XS
Perl modules doesn't work.
Therefore, when you need to install CPAN modules (such as Net::Route's dependencies) which make use of XS
(C code) on a system without the Sun C Compiler, you have to use the wrapper script provided by Sun which will invoke gcc
correctly (replace Module
as needed):
/usr/perl5/bin/perlgcc -MCPAN -e 'install Module'.
STATUS AND ROADMAP
Please refer to the Changes file for a detailed history.
0.01 - First Public Release
Net::Route meets our goals for a first public release:
It can list all routes
It can get the default route
It can provide the most common characteristics of routes
It is portable on Linux, Solaris and Windows
Net::Route is used in other Straton IT (http://en.straton-it.fr/) software, such as Cancerbero 0.7 (http://en.straton-it.fr/open-source/cancerbero-07) and Confdump/Sys (http://confdump.sourceforge.net/).
0.xx - Community Releases
These releases will include features and bugfixes suggested, reported and/or contributed by the community. For example:
Differentiating between
Net::Route
-as-a-class andNet::Route
-as-a-moduleSupport for more operating systems
Getting rid of CPAN dependencies that are troublesome to install on some platforms.
Your idea (http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bugs.html?Dist=Net-Route) here...
The API might change somewhat, if necessary.
1.0 - API Freeze
When appropriate (according to the user reports), we will freeze the interface and release version 1.0.
BUGS
Please report any bugs or feature requests to bug-net-route at rt.cpan.org
, or through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=Net-Route. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.
