Summary : Perl extension for parsing iptables firewall rulesets
Description :
The IPTables::Parse package provides an interface to parse iptables rules
on Linux systems through the direct execution of iptables commands, or from
parsing a file that contains an iptables policy listing. You can get the
current policy applied to a table/chain, look for a specific user-defined
chain, check for a default DROP policy, or determing whether or not logging
rules exist.

Update Information:
perl-IPTables-Parse :
The IPTables::Parse package provides an interface to parse iptables rules on Linux systems
through the direct execution of iptables commands, or from parsing a file that contains an
iptables policy listing. You can get the current policy applied to a table/chain, look for
a specific user-defined chain, check for a default DROP policy, or determing whether or
not logging rules exist.
fwsnort :
fwsnort translates Snort rules into equivalent iptables rules and generates a Bourne shell
script that implements the resulting iptables commands. In addition, fwsnort (optionally)
uses the IPTables::Parse module to parse the iptables ruleset on the machine to determine
which Snort rules are applicable to the specific iptables policy. fwsnort is able to
translate approximately 60% of all rules from the Snort-2.3.3 IDS into equivalent iptables
rules.
