Request to update libnet-pcap-perl

[Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni <sebastien@aperghis.net>]

Hello,


I am the maintainer of Net::Pcap, the Perl interface to the libpcap,  
packaged under the name libnet-pcap-perl in Debian. I was recently  
checking the CPANTS metrics of Net::Pcap, and was surprised to  
discover that Debian still ships the very old version 0.04 in all its  
distribution:
  » http://packages.debian.org/src:libnet-pcap-perl

Is there any reasons like compilation problems to prevent it from  
being updated? Recent versions of Net::Pcap fixed a number of bugs,  
added several features, and the documented API was changed to be on  
par with the C API (while still keeping backward compatibility with  
the old Perl API).



Thanks in advance
