Anybody using Nmap::Scanner?

[Ale Vesely]

Hi,
I'm having difficulties with that module
because it cannot leverage nmap's ability
to take arguments ftom stdin.

After having looked at it, it seems I may
get off by subclassing Nmap::Scanner and
override the scan() function in order to
build a $processor which is in turn a sub-
class of Nmap::Scanner::Backend::XML that
uses ISC::Open2.

I'm quite new to Perl, so I will appreciate
your suggestions very much. In particular,
as it would be easier to patch the original
Nmap::Scanner, I'd be glad to know if you
think that those subclasses would be of
interest to someone, i.e. if that will be
anything worth being registered at PAUSE.

(I tried to reach the original Author, but
did not succeed.)

Ciao
Ale
