Net::Interface is a module that allows access to the host network interfaces in a manner similar to ifconfig(8). Version 1.00 is a complete re-write and includes support for IPV6 as well as the traditional IPV4. Both read and write access to network device attributes including the creation of new logical and physical interfaces is available where supported by the OS and this module. NOTE: if your OS is not supported, please feel free to contribute new capabilities, patches, etc.... see: Net::Interface::Developer ANOTHER NOTE: Many of the operations of Net::Interface, particularly those that set interface values require privileged access to OS resources. Wherever possible, Net::Interface will simply fail softly when there are not adequate privileges to perform the requested operation or where the operation is not supported.
