in thread Packet parsing module in perl

I don't think the actual packets have timestamps -- could be wrong -- but I know the libpcap files do contain them. I think your best bet (as mentioned above) is to use the Net::Pcap library to read the source file and get the timestamps from there. It seems it does have a pcap_open_offline method, which I don't know how to use, that probably reads the file in.

How to get the actual timestamps from the packets:

sub process_packet { my($user_data, $header, $packet) = @_; print "time: $header->{tv_sec}\n"; } # The header information is a reference to a hash containing the fol +lowing fields. # # * "len" - the total length of the packet. # * "caplen" - the actual captured length of the packet # * "tv_sec" - seconds value of the packet timestamp. # * "tv_usec" - microseconds value of the packet timestamp.
