Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I am writing to request your comments on a module that fits into the category of sending Network packets in the SMB protocol (Microsoft file sharing protocol, the protocol used by Samba and Win NT/2000/XP/9x file servers).
The module is an XS interface to a small subset of the huge number of functions in the libsmbclient (Samba 2.2.x) library. They meet my needs of . sending and receiving SMB packets for Network management applications . providing a very modest but hopefully expandable alternative to smbclient (an application that is very hard to script and for which SMB::Filesystem is a noble attempt to wrap). Name spaces like Net::SMB (although it does NetBIOS also) Net::Samba Samba are tentative choices. Thank you, Yours sincerely. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stanley Hopcroft ------------------------------------------------------------------------ '...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.

Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...' from Meditation 17, J Donne.
