Net::Frame is a fork of Net::Packet. The goal here was to greatly
simplify the use of the frame crafting framework. Net::Packet does many
things undercover, and it was difficult to document all the thingies.
Also, Net::Packet may suffer from unease of use, because frames were
assembled using layers stored in L2, L3, L4 and L7 attributes.
Net::Frame removes all this, and is splitted in different modules, for
those who only want to use part of the framework, and not whole
framework.
Finally, anyone can create a layer, and put it on his CPAN space,
because of the modularity Net::Frame offers. For an example, see
Net::Frame::Layer::ICMPv4 on my CPAN space.
