Thanks for the suggestion. From what I read online you can do more with the net-snmp perl module.
I think I managed to install the perl modules that go with net-snmp5.1.1. I can type "use SNMP;" in a perl file and perl does not complain about not finding the module. However, the readme files do not clearly explain to me the functions I can call (and with what arguments), and what is returned. Does anybody know of a good document that lists the functions, arguments, tells/shows what is returned by the functions. I have hunted on Google but have yet to find a good document showing the syntax and how to use the functions in the perl module.
Thanks.
