ATTRIBUTES

The following are inherited attributes:

file

overwrite

Overwrites a .pcap file that already exists. Default to not.

firstLayer

Stores information about the first layer type. It is used to write .pcap file header information.

isRunning

Returns true if a call to start has been done, false otherwise or if a call to stop has been done.

METHODS

new

new (hash)

Object constructor. You can pass attributes that will overwrite default ones. See SYNOPSIS for default values.

start

stop

When you want to stop writing frames to the file, call this method.

write ({ timestamp => $value, raw => $rawFrame })

Takes a hashref as a parameter. This hashref MUST have timestamp and raw keys, with values. The raw data will be stored to the .pcap file.
