NAME Net::ISC::DHCPd - Interacts with ISC DHCPd VERSION 0.1709 SYNOPSIS my $dhcpd = Net::ISC::DHCPd->new( config => { file => "path/to/config" }, leases => { file => "path/to/leases" }, omapi => { key => "some key" }, ); $dhcpd->config->parse; See the tests bundled to this distribution for more examples. DESCRIPTION This namespace contains three semi-separate projects, which this module binds together: dhcpd.conf, dhcpd.leases and omapi. It is written with Moose which provides classes and roles to represents things like a host, a lease or any other thing. The distribution as a whole is targeted an audience who configure and/or analyze the Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Server . If you are not familiar with the server, check out the man pages . ATTRIBUTES config This attribute holds a read-only Net::ISC::DHCPd::Config object. It can be set from the constructor, using either an object or a hash-ref. The hash-ref will then be passed on to the constructor. leases This attribute holds a read-only Net::ISC::DHCPd::Leases object. It can be set from the constructor, using either an object or a hash-ref. The hash-ref will then be passed on to the constructor. omapi This attribute holds a read-only Net::ISC::DHCPd::OMAPI object. It can be set from the constructor, using either an object or a hash-ref. The hash-ref will then be passed on to the constructor. binary This attribute holds a Path::Class::File object to the dhcpd binary. It is read-only and the default is "dhcpd3". errstr Holds the last know error as a plain string. This only applies to OMAPI. METHODS parse $config->parse; This parses the config file or the leases file. generate print $config->generate; This generates a copy of the config file in plaintext. test $bool = $self->test("config"); $bool = $self->test("leases"); Will test either the config or leases file. It returns a boolean value which indicates if it is valid or not: True means it is valid, while false means it is invalid. Check "errstr" on failure - it will contain a descriptive string from either this module, $! or the exit value (integer stored as a string). SEE ALSO Net::DHCP::Info "Net::DHCP::Info" an older dhcpd.leases and dhcpd.conf parser, also written by Jan Henning Thorsen. It has many limitations that these modules address. kea.isc.org "kea.isc.org" a replacement DHCP server from ISC that is high-performance and supports an API and on-line configuration directly.
