Hello,
I'd like to write a small connectivity utility which will _craft_ then _pack_ and _send_ an ethernet frame.
First: Im using MSWin32
Second: Is there already a utility for sending a Layer 2 'ping' without a TCP/IP stack loaded?
Third: Can the DL-DATA-ACK function be utilized for this?
Fourth: I'd like to use Perl for this, but ive had some trouble finding an appropriate 'module' to accomplish this.

OK, thank you, I will look into it.
On either freshmeat or sourceforge, there is a "linkloop" project that is a linux implementation of the HP-UX linkloop functionality. It is a layer two "ping" utility that has been in use on HP-UX for years and years. If you license sutiably, you could leverage that port for your needs, and have some decent assurance of interoperability with at least two other platforms :)
