Re: Continuous packet capture

I have spent a couple of days casting about, looking at examples and
perldoc.  I don't seem to be able to get the data from 'tcpdump' (or
POE::Component::PCAP) to the wheel that will process the data.  For my last
attempt, I removed Filter::Referece and tried with just the wheel.  Still
no luck.  Any suggestions?

#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;
use POE qw( Wheel::Run ); #Filter::Reference );
use Data::Dumper;

our $offset = 0;
our $linechars = '';

POE::Session->create
      ( inline_states =>
      {
            _start => sub {
                  my ($heap) = $_[HEAP];
                  my $gp = POE::Wheel::Run->new
                        ( Program => '/usr/sbin/tcpdump -i eth0 -w - '
#                       , Conduit => "pipe"
#                       , StdoutFilter => POE::Filter::Reference->new()
#                       , StdinEvent  => 'process_packet'
                        , StdinEvent  => 'stdin'
#                       , StdoutEvent => 'print'
#                       , InputEvent => 'process_packet'
                        );
print "gp compleate\n";
                  $heap->{gp} = $gp;
#                 my $pp = POE::Wheel::Run->new
#                       ( Program => &process_packet
#                       , StdoutEvent => 'stdout'
#                       );

            }
      }
      );

sub process_packet {
      print "process_packet called\n";
#     my ($heap) = $_[HEAP];

#     my $filter = POE::Filter::Reference->new();
#     my $pdump = $filter->get( [ $heap->{gp} ] );
      my $pdump = $_[ARG0];
      foreach my $char (split(//, $pdump)) {
            if($char !~ /\n/) {
                  dump_char($char) ;
            } else {
                  print "\n\n";
                  $offset = 0;
                  $linechars = '';
            }
            1;
      }


      dump_char( ' ', 1 ) while length($linechars) != 0;

}

sub dump_char {
  my ( $char ) = shift;
  if ( length( $linechars ) == 0 ) {
    printf( "%06X ", $offset );
  }
  $linechars .= ( $char =~ m#[!-~ ]# ) ? $char : '.';
     printf( "%02X ", ord($char) );
   if ( length( $linechars ) == 16 ) {
    print( "\n" );
    $linechars = '';
    $offset += 16;
