Hello,

I need to develop small application which will analyze 
sniffed traffic in the network segment, and make its finding
available via SNMP.

To do so, I was planing to use perl and Net::SNMP and Net::RawIP
libraries, but this is not the key issue.

My major problem is, how (if at all possible) use pcap in nonblocking
mode, so my application will have main event loop processing 
in non-blocking mode, both pcap_next packets, and SNMP requests?

I understand, that pcap_next is blocking. Also, there are no guarantees
that pcap_loop (or dispatch) will timeout.

So, what would be the best way to approach this issue?

Thanks for your suggestions,

Przemek
