       Please report any bugs or feature  requests  to  "bug-net-route  at  rt.cpan.org",  or  through  the  web
       interface  at  <http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=Net-Route>.  I  will be notified, and then
       you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.

TheNet::RouteModule
       Every OS provides its custom interface to the routing table: Linux' "route" utility is different from
       BSD's "route show", from Windows' "route print", etc. Parsing all these different output styles in an
       (otherwise portable) script can quickly become inconvenient.

       Net::Route abstracts the system specifics and provides a single, portable interface.

   TheNet::RouteClass
       Net::Route objects represent single entries from a Net::Route::Table.

       The perl interpreter shipped with Solaris was compiled with Sun's proprietary C compiler, and therefore
       attempts to compile XS modules with the same tool and options. However, Solaris comes by default with the
       GNU C Compiler ("gcc") only, which has its own set of incompatible command-line arguments. Mixing these
       two to compile "XS" Perl modules doesn't work.

       Therefore, when you need to install CPAN modules (such as Net::Route's dependencies) which make use of
       "XS" (C code) on a system without the Sun C Compiler, you have to use the wrapper script provided by Sun
       which will invoke "gcc" correctly (replace "Module" as needed):

         /usr/perl5/bin/perlgcc -MCPAN -e 'install Module'.

       This documents Net::Route as a class. To know how to use the module, refer to the synopsis or
       Net::Route::Table (the entry point from a user perspective).

       Net::Route - Portable interface to the routing table

       Please refer to the Changes file for a detailed history.

   0.01-FirstPublicRelease
       Net::Route meets our goals for a first public release:

       •   It can list all routes

       •   It can get the default route

       •   It can provide the most common characteristics of routes

       •   It is portable on Linux, Solaris and Windows

       Net::Route  is  used  in  other  Straton IT (<http://en.straton-it.fr/>) software, such as Cancerbero 0.7
       (<http://en.straton-it.fr/open-source/cancerbero-07>)                  and                   Confdump/Sys
       (<http://confdump.sourceforge.net/>).

   0.xx-CommunityReleases
       These  releases  will  include  features  and  bugfixes  suggested,  reported  and/or  contributed by the
       community. For example:

       •   Differentiating between "Net::Route"-as-a-class and "Net::Route"-as-a-module

       •   Support for more operating systems

       •   Getting rid of CPAN dependencies that are troublesome to install on some platforms.

       •   Your idea (<http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bugs.html?Dist=Net-Route>) here...

       The API might change somewhat, if necessary.

   1.0-APIFreeze
       When appropriate (according to the user reports), we will freeze the interface and release version 1.0.

       You can find documentation for this module with the perldoc command.
