Version 1.00 is a complete re-write and +includes support for IPV6 as well as the traditional IPV4. + +Both read and write access to network device attributes including the +creation of new logical and physical interfaces is available where supported +by the OS and this module. + +NOTE: if your OS is not supported, please feel free to contribute new +capabilities, patches, etc.... see: Net::Interface::Developer + +ANOTHER NOTE: Many of the operations of Net::Interface, particularly those +that set interface values require privileged access to OS resources. Wherever +possible, Net::Interface will simply fail softly when there are not adequate +privileges to perform the requested operation or where the operation is not +supported. |
