SYNOPSIS
   use Net::Frame::Dump::Writer;

   my $oDump = Net::Frame::Dump::Writer->new(
      file       => 'new-file.pcap',
      firstLayer => 'ETH',
   );

   $oDump->start;

   $oDump->write({ timestamp => '10.10', raw => ('A' x 14) });

   $oDump->stop;

DESCRIPTION
This module implements a pcap file builder. You will be able to create frames, then write them in the pcap file format to a file.

ATTRIBUTES
The following are inherited attributes:

file
    Name of the .pcap file to generate.

overwrite
    Overwrites a .pcap file that already exists. Default to not.

append
    Append new frames to an existing pcap file. Create it if does not exists yet.

firstLayer
    Stores information about the first layer type. It is used to write .pcap file header information.

isRunning
    Returns true if a call to start has been done, false otherwise or if a call to stop has been done.

METHODS

new
new (hash)
    Object constructor. You can pass attributes that will overwrite default ones. See SYNOPSIS for default values.

start
    When you want to start writing frames to the file, call this method.

stop
    When you want to stop writing frames to the file, call this method.

write ({ timestamp => $value, raw => $rawFrame })
    Takes a hashref as a parameter. This hashref MUST have timestamp and raw keys, with values. The raw data will be stored to the .pcap file.
