+
+Net::Config - Local configuration data for libnet
+
+=head1 SYNOPSYS
+
+    use Net::Config qw(%NetConfig);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+C<Net::Config> holds configuration data for the modules in the libnet
+distribuion. During installation you will be asked for these values.
+
+The configuration data is held globally in a file in the perl installation
+tree, but a user may override any of these values by providing thier own. This
+can be done by having a C<.libnetrc> file in thier home directory. This file
+should return a reference to a HASH containing the keys described below.
+For example
+
+    # .libnetrc
+    {
+        nntp_hosts => [ "my_prefered_host" ],
+        ph_hosts   => [ "my_ph_server" ],
+    }
+    __END__
+
+=head1 METHODS
+
+C<Net::Config> defines the following methods. They are methods as they are
+invoked as class methods. This is because C<Net::Config> inherits from
+C<Net::LocalCfg> so you can override these methods if you want.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item is_external HOST
+
+Attempts to determine if a given host is outside your firewall. Possible
+return values are.
+
+  -1  Cannot lookup hostname
+   0  Host is inside firewall (or there is not ftp_firewall entry)
+   1  Host is outside the firewall
+
+This is done by using hostanme lookup and the C<local_netmask> entry in
+the configuration data.

+Each is a reference to an array of hostnames (in order of preference),
+which should be used for the given protocol
+
+=item inet_domain
+
+Your internet domain name
+
+=item ftp_firewall
+
+If you have an FTP proxy firewall (B<NOT> a HTTP or SOCKS firewall)
+then this value should be set to the firewall hostname. If your firewall
+does not listen to port 21, then this value should be set to
+C<"hostname:port"> (eg C<"hostname:99">)
+
+=item ftp_ext_passive
+
+=item ftp_int_pasive
+
+FTP servers normally work on a non-passive mode. That is when you want to
+transfer data you have to tell the server the address and port to
+connect to.
+
+With some firewalls this does not work as te server cannot
+connect to your machine (because you are beind a firewall) and the firewall
+does not re-write te command. In this case you should set C<ftp_ext_passive>
+to a I<true> value.
+
+Some servers are configured to only work in passive mode. If you have
+one of these you can force C<Net::FTP> to always transfer in passive
+mode, when not going via a firewall, by cetting C<ftp_int_passive> to
+a I<true> value.
+
+=item local_netmask
+
+A reference to a list of netmask strings in the form C<"134.99.4.0/24">.
+These are used by the C<is_external> function to determine if a given
+host is inside or outside your firewall.
+
+=back
+
+The following entries are used during installation & testing on the
+libnet package
+
+=over 4
+
+=item test_hosts
+
+If true them C<make test> may attempt to connect to hosts given in the
+configuration.
+
+=item test_exists
+
+If true the C<Configure> will check each hostname given that it exists
