Re: Net::Snmp Attempt

in reply to Net::Snmp Attempt

I would write is as follows:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Net::SNMP; Usage () unless @ARGV == 2; my ($session, $error) = Net::SNMP -> session ( -hostname => $ARGV [0], -community => $ARGV [1], ); $session or die "Session error: $error"; my $tableid = "1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.4.6.1.1"; my $table = $session -> get_table ($tableid) or die "request error: ", $session -> error; foreach my $oid (keys %$table) { if ($oid =~ /^\Q$tableid\E\.(\d+)/) { print "Real server ", $table -> {$oid}, ", port ", $table -> {"$tableid.5. +$1"}, ", is bound to virtual server ", $table -> {"$tableid.2. +$1"}, ", on port ", $table -> {"$tableid.3. +$1"}, "\n"; } } my $sysid = "1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4.0"; my $syscontact = $session -> get_request ($sysid) or die "Request error: ", $session -> error; print "For help or questions contact: ", $syscontact -> {$sysid}, "\n" +; $session -> close;
Some differences: no global variables (with use vars). No magical constants that are repeated. Taken care of the special meaning of a dot inside a regex. Anchored the regex. Used parenthesis to capture relevant field. No needless concatenation in print or die. Success is checked right away and not in a separate statement. Just one check to see if there are enough arguments.

    Abigail,

    Thanks for your help. I understand most of the changes you made. I especially appreciate the regex cleanup. I'm puzzled by the lines

    $table -> {"$tableid.5.$1"}, $table -> {"$tableid.2.$1"},

    What does the $1 do?

    Jer

      $1 doesn't really "do" anything; it's a variable having a value. It is set by the preceeding regular expression which contains a set of parenthesis. The part of the string that is matched by the sub expression in the parens is put in $1. This avoids needing to do the split and getting the last element. See also the perlre manual page.
