How can I send 2 snmp set_requests at the same time

smoss has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

On a command line using snmpset I can send two snmpset messages together, i.e. snmpset 195.7.51.87 private .1.3.6.1.4.1.429.1.2.4.3.0 i 10 .1.3.6.1.4.1.429.1.2.4.5.0 s "config.cfm" This works fine for me, however in my script I only know how to send the OIDs individually,

 
my $set_file_name = '.1.3.6.1.4.1.429.1.2.4.5.0';
my $set_setfile = '.1.3.6.1.4.1.429.1.2.4.3.0';

my $result = $session->set_request(
        -varbindlist => [$set_setfile, INTEGER32, 10]      );

my $result1 = $session->set_request(
        -varbindlist => [$set_file_name, OCTET_STRING, "config.cfm"]
);

I get a generic error in response. Therefore I think they have to be sent at the same time. Anyone how this can be done?

I'm completely clueless about SNMP (and others will say, you can drop the "about SNMP" part :-) ), but looking at Net::SNMP, they don't have leading .'s on the keys they're setting in the examples: `my $sysUpTime = '1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0'; my $result = $session->get_request( -varbindlist => [$sysUpTime] );` [download] Maybe they're only needed for the commandline utility? -- Mike	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks for the response. It usually works with or without the leading dot. I have tried to make sure here though and indeed I do have the same result either way.	[reply]

Darn. Here's hoping some Net::SNMP-clued person wanders by, then. -- Mike	[reply]

Like this: `my $set_file_name = '.1.3.6.1.4.1.429.1.2.4.5.0'; my $set_setfile = '.1.3.6.1.4.1.429.1.2.4.3.0'; my $result = $session->set_request( -varbindlist => [ $set_setfile, INTEGER32, 10, $set_file_name, OCTET_STRING, "config.cfm", ]); $result or warn "error: @{[$session->error]}\n";` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
