Announcement: perl module Nmap::Scanner 0.9 released

Hello,

    Nmap::Scanner is a perl module that provides an object-oriented, 
    programmatic interface to the nmap port scanning tool.  It parses 
    the output of nmap's "XML" format (-oX).  Nmap::Scanner provides 
    both batch-mode and event-driven usage models.

    Version 0.9 of Nmap::Scanner is now available for download from 
    CPAN and Source Forge; this revision includes a number of bug 
    fixes and improvements over version .5, the last version I announced 
    on this list.

    Major improvements:
    * No longer relies on XML::SAX::PurePerl, can use any XML::SAX 
      compliant parser (contribution by David Blank-Edelman .. thank you!).
    * Can scan from XML files created with nmap using the scan_from_file() 
      method of Nmap::Scanner::Scanner.
    * Allows for passing of nmap options directly to the scan() method of
      Nmap::Scanner::Scanner instead of using Nmap::Scanner::Scanner option 
      setters.  

      Example:

      $scanner->scan('-sS -sV') 

      instead of 

      $scanner->syn_scan();
      $scanner->version_scan();

    * Updated to comply with XML output from version 3.80 of nmap.

    Source Forge:
    * http://nmap-scanner.sf.net/

    CPAN:
    * http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Nmap/MAXSCHUBE/

    Feedback, comments, criticism welcome as always.

Thank you,
Max
