Description :
The IPTables::Parse package provides an interface to parse iptables rules
on Linux systems through the direct execution of iptables commands, or from

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.
