Thanks VERY much, Vin, for your help! In addition to your modified test.pl, for the benefit of others here are the minor patches to apply to Net-Pcap-0.17 to get it to compile correctly. Strangely, I did not have to redo step 4 like you had to.

Apply these patches with the same command line option '-p1' as in Vin's original post:

patch -p1 < net-pcap-0.17-makefile.patch
patch -p1 < net-pcap-0.17-stubs.patch

Here is net-pcap-0.17-makefile.patch:

• 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).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
