This package sends wake-on-lan 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 power on PCs by perl -e 'use Net::Wake; Net::Wake::by_udp("192.168.0.1", "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx");' You can also specify broadcast address for `host'. It is useful in a intelligent network. WWW: https://metacpan.org/release/Net-Wake
