Port forwarding utility in perl

[Debashish Mishra]

I am searching for a port forwarding package in perl, some thing like
plugproxy in java (http://www.bbzzdd.com/plugproxy). My basic
requirement is to have a platform independent snooping tool between
two servers. The servers may be on the same m/c. So we need to replace
currently used ipthreal/iptrace.

I was wondering if there exists any package with functionality similar
to plugproxy. IPChains:ortFW seemed promising. But I couldn't
install it on Solaris. The documentation also clearly mentions it's
for linux.

In perl cook-book first edition chapter 17.18 there is a program which
probably would serve our purpose with some modification. Another
option is to make a perl wrapper over plugproxy and use it.

Could somebody point me to a module already exists or being writen
which fits into this before we reinvent the wheel?

Thanks and regards,
Debashish.

check out stem (cpan and stemsystems.com) which can be used to build a
port forwarder without any coding. i have a config file for this
which i can send you (it is not in the distribution).

I don't have a package but an entire program.
