Hi Jonathan, I have been looking into those and their alternatives on cpan (nmap::scanner) yet both of them feel rather unintuitive to use and not well integrated. And that beside the hope that nothing would change in the future with newer versions and/or the inclusion of new features in nmap not directly accessible through both of them spurred my interest in fixing this once and for all. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards, Andreas Marschke.

I've been using the Ruby version for some time with little to no problems with parsing. -Jonathan Sent from my iPhone On Apr 16, 2012, at 8:21 PM, "Andreas Marschke" <andreas.marschke () googlemail com> wrote:
Dear list readers and nmap developers, I have been toying around with the idea of using nmap for managing new assets on my network or getting data of newly created hosts. Now, I'm a perl programmer and would like to do tgis from within perl. But doing execs and parsing output (even though it is xml) is rather difficult and prone to fail once a version change has happend and the output has changed from one space to 2 or voce versa or otherwise. Perl has a nice way of including c or c++ application libraries. They link against them using XS or SWIG. Would it be possible to make a library out of nmap with only the nmap binary as a wrapping console application around it? -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards, Andreas Marschke. _____________________________________________
