Re: [Iptperl-general] Sample Code

Hi,

We use IPTables::IPv4 but I doubt that a generic perl script will
help you setting up your particular rules. I combined this module
with Config::General for a particular application, so there is not
much to see anymore how it really works.

Try this:

1. set up your iptables rules using iptables, dump/show/recover with
   iptables-save and iptables-restore

2. enter the perl debugger and dump the rules you just set up (eg.
   stating "x \%IPTables::IPv4" on the command line)

3. try the methods from the man page (which is pretty comprehensive)
   in the perl debugger and look at the resulting kernel rules
   (eg. using iptables or uiptables-save).

Using these methods it should be easy to set up your rules script.
