    use CallOfDuty::LANMapper;
 
    my $servers = CallOfDuty::LANMapper::get_servers();
    foreach my $server ( @$servers )
    {
        my $info = CallOfDuty::LANMapper::get_status($server);
    }

FUNCTIONS

get_servers

 my $servers = CallOfDuty::LANMapper::get_servers()

This function broadcasts on the local network looking for Call Of Duty servers.

An array reference containing host and port is returned e.g [ "gameserver:28960" ]

get_status

 my $servers = CallOfDuty::LANMapper::get_status( "localhost:28960" );

This function contacts the call of duty server passed in and queries it for its status.

A hash reference or undef for failure is returned. Of chief interest are the player_count field which contains the number of players on the server , the player field which contains an array reference which contains the current players, mapname and sv_hostname.
