This is a bad name. There is already a "libnet" distribution on CPAN, and it contains many Net:: modules. Surely many people with think Net::Libnet is the libnet distribution. http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Bundle-libnet http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=libnet Unfortunately, I don't have any alternate suggestions for you, but Net::Libnet is just bad. -- Chris Nandor [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pudge.net/ Open Source Development Network [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://osdn.com/
