Net::Packet::VLAN - 802.1Q layer 3 object

   use Net::Packet::Consts qw(:vlan);
   require Net::Packet::VLAN;

   # Build a layer
   my $layer = Net::Packet::VLAN->new(
      priority => 0,
      cfi      => 0,
      id       => 0,
      type     => NP_VLAN_TYPE_IPv4,
   );
   $layer->pack;

   print 'RAW: '.unpack('H*', $layer->raw)."\n";

   # Read a raw layer
   my $layer = Net::Packet::VLAN->new(raw => $raw);

   print $layer->print."\n";
   print 'PAYLOAD: '.unpack('H*', $layer->payload)."\n"
      if $layer->payload;
