Subject: Make Net::Packet independent of Net::Libdnet
My use case: I want to parse some packets loaded from a .pcapng file (using Net::Pcap). The Net::Packet framework seems to be useful for that task.
Unfortunately it has a hard dependency on Net::Libdnet that is painful to install (see RT#106021) and not needed for my use case.

So it would be helpful to split Net::Packet to move in a separate distribution the capture/emission features that rely on Net::Libdnet.

This seems to be have been addressed with the split between Net::Frame and Net::Write. But it would be helpful to link to this modules from the Net::Packet documentation.
