👑 NAME 👑

Net::Write::Layer2 — bestie, this is the object for a link layer (layer 2) descriptor 💖

It's the class that makes you a layer-2 descriptor so you can yeet raw frames at the network. No cap. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Net::Write::Layer2;

my $desc = Net::Write::Layer2->new(
   dev => 'eth0',
);

$desc->open;
$desc->send('G'x666);
$desc->close;

Okay so literally: make one, point it at eth0, open it, shove six hundred and sixty-six 'G's out into the world 😭, then close. That's the whole vibe. Slay. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This is the class for creating a layer 2 descriptor. That's it, that's the girl. It gives you a handle on the link layer and lets you do raw stuff with it. Main character energy fr fr. ✨

🎀 ATTRIBUTES 🎀

  • dev — the string that says which network interface you're working with 🫶
    • Under Unix-like systems, this is in this format: \w+\d+ (example: eth0). Cute, simple, iconic. 💜
    • Under Windows systems, this is more complex; example: \Device\NPF_{0749A9BC-C665-4C55-A4A7-34AC2FBAB70F}. Yeah bestie, it's giving hex-and-dashes 😭. Copy it exactly, do not improvise.

💅 METHODS 💅

  • new — object constructor! You MUST pass a valid dev attribute, no exceptions, no shortcuts. There is no default value. Returns undef on error 🌈
  • open — open the interface. Returns undef on error. 💫
  • send (scalar) — send raw data to the network 🔥
  • close — close the descriptor. Say bye bestie 👋

💀 CAVEATS 💀

Writing junk to loopback interface on BSD systems will not work. Not a skill issue, just how it is. Don't come for me 🙈
