Well it are the perl bindings for using the libpcap library, so you need libpcap and I think this file http://search.cpan.org/src/TIMPOTTER/Net-Pcap-0.04/Pcap.pm installed somewhere in /usr/lib/perl5/....???? but I'm not an expert. But i'm sure you can find something on google and probably there's somebody more qualified who can help you out,....
Good luck,
Cya lX.

First thing, with the current state of the Perl ebuild, is to make sure that you have emerged ExtUtils-MakeMaker after the last time you emerged perl. Otherwise things will get installed in the wrong place. Then, the first thing I do is try "emerge -p X-Y", which is usually the ebuild naming convention for Perl modules. If it doesn't exist, and I have some time, I make an ebuild for it and submit it to bugs.gentoo.org. If I'm in a hurry, then: | Code: | # perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install X::Y |
P.S. Your specific question about Net::Pcap is covered in perl Pcap.pm. Due to the way phpBB search works, searching for "net::pcap" will bring you "net or pcap", while "net and pcap" will find only that thread and this one.
