I see versions of Net::Interface in the author's directory you link to above, but Net::Interface doesn't seem to show up in the search.cpan.org index. Net::Interface::Developer does. The version here: http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/MIKER/Net-Interface-1.011/lib/Net/Interface/Developer.pm seems to have renamed the module to Net::Interface::Developer. It appears to be an experimental version. The distribution still contains a module using the older package name: http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/MIKER/Net-Interface-1.011/Interface.pm (though in an unusual location.) On quick glance it seems that the current Net::Interface still supports the API methods that mvpboot uses. (The code calls ->address and ->hwaddress, both in scalar context, and without arguments.) What is it that is failing? I've cc'ed the module's author. Perhaps he can clarify what happened. I'll pass on any reply to the list. > How to install them is unclear. The process should be approximately (on a UNIX-like box): cd /tmp wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/M/MI/MIKER/Net-Interface-0.11.tar.gz tar -xzf Net-Interface-0.11.tar.gz cd Net-Interface-0.11 perl Makefile.PL make install We could always add command-line options to statically specify the local machine's IP and MAC, which would eliminate the dependency on Net::Interface (with the options are supplied). There really should be command line options for those attributes anyway, as mvpboot doesn't necessarily need to run on the same machine that will be providing the services it is telling the MVP about. -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Join us December 9, 2009 for the Red Hat Virtual Experience, a free event focused on virtualization and cloud computing.
