Win32::Wlan->new( %args )
my $wlan = Win32::Wlan->new();
Creates a new Win32::Wlan object.
available - optional argument to force detection of general Wlan availability
handle - optional argument to give an existing Wlan handle to the object
interface - optional argument to give an existing guuid to the object
$wlan->handleReturns the Windows API handle for the Wlan API.
$wlan->interface
print $wlan->interface->{name};
Returns a hashref describing the interface. The keys are
guuid for the guuid, name for the human-readable name and
status for the status of the interface.
$wlan->available
$wlan->available
or warn "Wlan API is not available";
Returns whether the Wlan API is available. The Wlan API is available on Windows XP SP3 or higher.
$wlan->connected
$wlan->connected
or warn "Wlan connection unavailable";
Returns whether a Wlan connection is established. No connection is established when Wlan is switched off or no access point is in range.
$wlan->connection
if ($wlan->connected) {
print "Connected to ";
print $wlan->connection->{profile_name};
};
Returns information about the current connection in a hashref. The keys are
profile_name - the name of the profile of the current connection
$wlan->visible_networksReturns information about the currently visible networks as a list of hashrefs.
ssid - the SSID of the network
signal_quality - the signal quality ranging linearly from 0 to 100
meaning -100 dbm to -50 dbm
This module only supports the first wireless connection. If your machine has more than one wireless connection, you will need to use the Win32::Wlan::API manpage directly.
Currently, the module also has no way of determining whether Wlan gets switched on or off.
