perl5 module for Wake On LAN
Project homepage: https://metacpan.org/release/Net-Wake
Description
This package sends wake-on-lan (AKA magic) packets to turn on machines
that are wake-on-lan capable.
For now there is only one function in this package:
Net::Wake::by_udp([$host], $mac_address, [$port]);
You can omit the colons in the $mac_address, but not leading zeros.
Generally speaking, you should use a broadcast address for $host. Using
the host's last known IP address is usually not sufficient since the IP
address may no longer be in the ARP cache. A $host value of
'255.255.255.255' is implied if $host is undef. If you wish to send a
magic packet to a remote subnet, you can use a variation of
'192.168.0.255', given that you know the subnet mask to generate the
proper broadcast address.
