Hi Muskovitz,
Several years ago I wrote a script using Net::Pcap and NetPacket to read a capture file - however, there is a lot of low-level decoding involved (e.g. reassembling IP fragments is fun), and a lot of re-inventing the wheel. So my suggestion would be that you use the already highly advanced features of Wireshark, which you can access from the command line via tshark, to get at the data in the capture file and filter it, and have tshark output it in a format your Perl program can parse. In your Perl program you can capture the data from tshark using a module like Capture::Tiny.
Hope this helps,

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
