    Perl code to encode or decode pcap format is not particularly hard.
    For one example, see:

    Shawn is correct that in general the information one needs is missing
    from ASCII dumps, but one can often gleen enough information to be
    useful. I've used this technique on ocasion to coax tcptrace into
    drawing TSG graphs based on hex packet dumps mailed to me by customers
    using home-grown analysis tools. Use with caution, but it beats the
    heck out of staring at a screen full of hex digits for days on end.
