I've tried installing 0.15 and that also fails. What dependencies are there for this?

I am aware of this problem, given the number of FAIL reports I get. But I haven't yet had the time to investigate deeply this. Not being able to reproduce this on OSX also doesn't help. Show quoted text

Net::Pcap 0.15 shouldn't have any dependencies apart from the ones listed in META.yml, which are mainly IO::Interface for the pcapinfo command and Test::More for the tests. The module itself only uses core modules. If you can't compile 0.15, can you try with 0.14? I probably introduced too many things at the same time in 0.15, hence the current breakage. Plus, it had a bug preventing the new API to work as documented. -- Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni Close the world, txEn eht nepO.

0.14 works fine. Thanks for the suggestion.

Maybe spoke too soon. I installed it ok but it always fails to see any netdevice. Net::Pcap::lookupdev Always fails.

Ok works as root.

As with any pcap-based program, on a Unix system with the traditional discrete account credentials, you need to run the program as root. On a RBAC system, it should be feasible to give the BPF capability to a user account. -- Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni Close the world, txEn eht nepO.
