RFS: iptables-ipv4-perl just uploaded
Hi,
This is the IPTables::IPv4 perl cpan module.
It is not suited for debaux-build --cpan, so I put this package together.
I'm planning to use this in production environnement. Everything OK for me
so far.
It is lintian clean, except the warnings about /usr/lib/IPTables-IPv4/*.so
file; which are not designed to be used by anything but this perl module.
Comments etc greatly appreciated.

Description: IPTables::IPv4 - Perl module for manipulating iptables rules
This package provides a nice interface to the IP Tables control API that
fairly closely parallels the C API exported in libiptc for manipulating
firewalling and forwarding rules for IPv4 packets. Also, a tied multilayer
data structure has been built, allowing the tables, chains, rules and fields
to be manipulated in a more natural fashion.
.
Wrappers have been implemented for all methods except one
(iptc_check_packet()), and according to Harald Welte and Rusty Russell, the
unimplemented call will likely remain so. Protocol-specific match modules
have been implemented for TCP, UDP and ICMP. Several target and on-protocol
match modules have been implemented. .
The module will be built with a defalt library path built into it. That can
be overridden using the IPT_IPV4_MODPATH environment variable. If your script
is being called suid root, you may want to do delete $ENV{IPT_IPV4_MODPATH};
to ensure that someone isn't subverting your script. Make sure you do this
before you use IPTables::IPv4; to ensure that it never loads from an
unapproved path.
Best regards,
