NAME¶
Net::Route - Portable interface to the routing tableSYNOPSIS¶
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 and "Net::Route"-as-a-module
- Support 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.SUPPORT¶
