Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Wireshark ProCurve ERSPAN Support

Before investing too much time and energy in customizing wireshark
(something that might be beyond me anyway), I thought it wise to post
my situation:

I have a number of HP ProCurve (5400zl) switches with remote packet
capture capabilities. It works much like Cisco ERSPAN, but is
different of course.
I would love to be able to decode these captures directly in
Wireshark, but that functionality is not currently available.

The remote capture is encapsulated in a standard UDP packet, in an
undocumented format. Google-fu has failed to lead me towards anybody
else investigating this. I can hack bash and perl scripts, but that is
the limit of my coding these days. Any suggestions on how to start
getting this supported in Wireshark?

Thanks for your time,
