This class holds the results from a scan. Results include a host list (Nmap::Scanner::HostList) instance and an instance of Nmap::Scanner::NmapRun, which contains information about the scan. There are several methods in this class used by the scanner to populate the result set; the only three that will be of interest to most programmers are:

get_host_list()
Returns an instance of Nmap::Scanner::HostList that can be iterated through to get the host objects found by the search. Example (Assumes scanner instance is named $scanner): my $results = $scanner->scan(); my $host_list = $results->get_host_list(); while (my $host = $host_list->get_next()) { print "Found host named: " . $host->hostname() . "\n"; .. etc .. }

as_xml()
Returns the results as a well-formed XML document. Example (Assumes scanner instance is named $scanner): my $results = $scanner->scan(); print $results->as_xml();

nmap_run()
Returns the Nmap::Scanner::NmapRun instance with information about the scan itself. See the examples/ directory in the distribution for more examples.
