CallOfDuty::LANMapper - COD Server detection and query

Version 0.02

This modules lets you detect Call Of Duty servers on your lan and query them once you know their hostname and IP. Currently only Call Of Duty 4 servers are supported.

    use CallOfDuty::LANMapper;

    my $servers = CallOfDuty::LANMapper::get_servers();
    foreach my $server ( @$servers )
    {
    	my $info = CallOfDuty::LANMapper::get_status($server);
    }

 my $servers = CallOfDuty::LANMapper::get_servers()

This function broadcasts on the local network looking for Call Of Duty servers.

An array reference containing host and port is returned e.g [ "gameserver:28960" ]

 my $servers = CallOfDuty::LANMapper::get_status( "localhost:28960" );

This function contacts the call of duty server passed in and queries it for its status.

A hash reference or undef for failure is returned. Of chief interest are the player_count field which contains the number of players on the server , the player field which contains an array reference which contains the current players, mapname and sv_hostname.
