alexm, Thanks for the advice. I installed the libpcap0.8-dev packages, and that seemed to eliminate some of the functions that it was having trouble finding, however, I still receive the following output:

Incidentally, I just tried to compile/install the Net-Libnet-0.01_04 and it seemed to work fine. Earlier this was complaining about Net::Pcap as well, so maybe version 0.8 helped that.

I do still need Net::Pcap0.14 though, because Net-Write-1.03 requires at least Net::Pcap0.12 from the following output when running "perl Makefile.PL":

Warning: prerequisite Net::Pcap 0.12 not found. We have 0.04.

Also, (maybe this will be helpful in that the problem is related) I get the following output when trying to run "perl Makefile.PL" for Net-Libdnet-0.01:

All of this starts with the fact that I am trying to install Net-Packet-3.26. When running "perl Makefile.PL" for this module, I receive the following output:

WARNING: LICENSE is not a known parameter.
Warning: prerequisite Net::Libdnet 0 not found.
Warning: prerequisite Net::Pcap 0.12 not found. We have 0.04.
Warning: prerequisite Net::Write 1.00 not found.

Thank you all for your time you are spending on this issue.
