Bug#528675: libnet-arp-perl: Buffer overflow in get_mac_linux()

[Jonathan Yu]

Hi Franck:

Thanks for the patch. It looks good. However, I'm wondering why you
chose to use strncpy instead of strlcpy? If it's a portability issue,
then perhaps it would be possible to detect if strlcpy is available on
the system and fall back on strncpy otherwise?

It's probably not a big deal, but I do know that strlcpy is a bit
better on performance.

Cheers,

Jonathan
