Only way I know how to do it is with the use of Net::SNMP and Net::Ping. Use 
Net::SNMP to get a list of adjacent networks from routers, and use net::Ping to 
ping sweep those networks looking for new nodes. Basically repeat that process 
until the network is mapped.

That's a very very simplified explanation. There are entire books written on 
SNMP and you have to be pretty familiar with that service to know how to get 
the info you need.

If you have any specific questions about anything i've said, i'm happy to 
explain further.
