NAME

       Net::Write::Layer2 - object for a link layer (layer 2) descriptor

SYNOPSIS

          use Net::Write::Layer2;

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

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

DESCRIPTION

       This is the class for creating a layer 2 descriptor.

ATTRIBUTES

       dev The string specifying network interface to use.

           Under Unix-like systems, this is in this format: \w+\d+ (example: eth0).

           Under Windows systems, this is more complex; example:
           \Device\NPF_{0749A9BC-C665-4C55-A4A7-34AC2FBAB70F}

METHODS

       new Object constructor. You MUST pass a valid dev attribute. 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.

CAVEATS

       Writing junk to loopback interface on BSD systems will not work.
