Hey,
Thanks I discovered the same thing this morning, in the test directory
(/t) there is a README that stats the loop test waits for 10 packets to
be received to finish.
So by generating network traffic it finished.
My stats test did fail, for now I just ran a force install, but I am
open to suggestions.

Hello,
Hello,
I have tracked down a problem in my perl script to the module
Net::Pcap I believe and the loop mod.
So using perl -MPCAN -e shell I tried to install Net:Pcap to see what
happens.
After the make, it runs a check and produces the following out put:
t/01-modules OK
t/02-lookup OK
t/03-openlive OK
t/04-loop .....
That is where it hangs idefinitly ... has any one seen this before ?
How do I trouble shoot or resolve this issue ?
I am running slackware 10.1 with kernel 2.4.26 ?
I recently installed that module so yes I have seen that t/04-loop does
take a long time to complete. I found that by running a program that
sends and receives a lot of packets at the same time that the tests run
will speed up the whole process so I opened a separate xterm and ran
ping at the same time. Note that Net::Pcap defaults to 'eth0' so
pinging localhost won't do much. If you run in to a problem with the
t/07-stats test let me know, I think I can fix it. :-)
