+Shorewall-Perl (Perl-based compiler for Shoreline Firewall)
+
+The Shoreline Firewall, more commonly known as "Shorewall", is a
+Netfilter (iptables) based firewall that can be used on a dedicated
+firewall system, a multi-function gateway/router/server or on a
+standalone GNU/Linux system.
+
+This is the perl compiler part of Shorewall that allows faster
+compilation and execution than the legacy shorewall-shell compiler
+
+You will also need shorewall-common (or shorewall6-common for IPV6 support).
