The docs say NetPacket::IP->encode() [a class method]
while the source says $obj->encode() [an object method]. 

sub encode { 

    my $self = shift;
    .
    .
    .
    $self->{len} = ($self->{hlen} * 4) + length($self->{data});
    .
    .
    .
}

ie. $self must be a hashref or blessed hashref not a string.

My first guess would be the required object is your decoded packet.
Try $ip->encode();

Have fun,
Duncan
