Re: Perl Net::RawIP not allowing broadcast ?

[Michael Gale]

Hello,

	I have also tried sending out a packet addressed to 192.168.0.255 but I 
receive the same error:

sendto() at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i486-linux/Net/RawIP.pm line 550

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

I have created the following piece of code:

my $packet = new Net::RawIP({udp=>{}});

$packet-> set({
            ip => {    saddr => '192.168.0.15',
                    daddr =>  '255.255.255.255',
                    id => $ipid,
                    frag_off => 0,
                    tos => 0,
                    protocol => 0x11,
                },
            udp => {    source =>  68,
                    dest =>  67,
                    len => 556,
                    data => 'Testing'
                }
            });
           
$packet->send;

$packet->ethnew($settings->get('ip_setup.device'));
$packet->ethset(dest=> $settings->get('ip_setup.dest_mac'));
$packet->ethsend;

How ever it does not work because I am specifing a broadcast destination 
IP address. If I change the IP address to a anything else it works.

Any suggestions ? Would this be a bug ? or am I doing something wrong ?
