The README follows. The Abstract describes the module pretty
completely.

Abstract
--------
POE::Component::Pcap is a POE wrapper for the Net::Pcap wrapper for
libpcap. It exists as a separate session which sends events back to a
specified session when packets are ready.
------------
Requirements
------------
This module requires POE and Net::Pcap. The requirements are encoded
in Makefile.PL. The NetPacket::* modules are also probably useful.
------------------
Basic Installation
------------------
POE::Component::Pcap may be installed through the CPAN shell in the
usual CPAN shell manner. This typically is:
$ perl -MCPAN -e 'intstall POE::Component::Pcap'
You can also read this README from the CPAN shell:
$ perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> readme POE::Component::Pcap
And you can install the component from the CPAN prompt as well:
cpan> install POE::Component::Pcap
-------------------
Manual Installation
-------------------
POE::Component::Pcap can also be installed manually. The latest CPAN
version can be found at
<ftp://ftp.cpan.org/pub/CPAN/authors/id/F/FL/FLETCH/> or in a
similarly named directory at your favorite CPAN mirror. The most
recent development snapshot, which only rarely contains hideous
show-stopping bugs, is available from <http://phydeaux.org/>.
Downloading and unpacking the distribution are left as exercises for
the reader. To build and test it:
perl Makefile.PL
make test
When you're ready to install the component:
make install
It should now be ready to use.
