VERSION

0.14

SYNOPSIS

    my $dhcpd = Net::ISC::DHCPd->new(
                    config => { file => "path/to/config" },
                    leases => { file => "path/to/leases" },
                    omapi => { key => "some key" },
                );

    $self->test('config') or die $self->errstr;

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.

METHODS

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).
