The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: NetPacket::SpanningTree
DSLIP: bdpOa
description: Spanning Tree packet encoding/decoding
userid: CGANESAN (Chander Ganesan)
chapterid: 5 (Networking_Devices_IPC)

similar:
The NetPacket::Ethernet NetPacket
rationale:
The NetPacket group of modules all deal with protocol
encoding/decoding of IEEE standard ethernet protocols.
NetPacket::SpanningTree decodes 802.1d Spanning Tree (and Rapid
Spanning Tree) packets, as well as providing the ability to encode
Spanning Tree data into packets. It conforms to the standards set
forth in the NetPacket.pm module, and works with NetPacket::Ethernet
as required.
Basically, it's another NetPacket component to add to the other
protocols that NetPacket already handles.
Note: This package required NetPacket::Ethernet version 0.04 .
Currently the version of NetPacket::Ethernet maintained by Tim
Potter (whom I've been unable to contact via email) does not support
802.3 packet decoding, and as a result will not properly decode the
ethernet portion of the packet. I've updated NetPacket::Ethernet in
my CPAN directory (and bumped the version to 0.04). Does anyone know
how to get ahold of Tim?
