open( RTR, "$rtrlist" ) || die "Can't open $rtrlist file"; ... open( LOG, ">$workingdir/RESULT.TXT" )|| die "Can't open $workingdir/R +ESULT.TXT file"; ... $rtr = `$snmpget .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.3.0 $snmpro[0] $rtr` or print "hos +tname failed: $!\n"; ... $rtr = `$snmpget .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.3.0 $snmpro[1] $rtr` or print +"Host not responding to $snmpro[1]\n";

Consistency is always good.    You should stick with either ( ... ) || ... or  ... or ...

The use of $! with backticks is wrong.    You SHOULD be using $! to indicate errors from open and $? to indicate errors from backticks.

printf " Router\t\t Location\t\t\tContact\t\t Serial\n"; printf LOG " Router\t\t; Location\t\t\t;Contact\t\t ;Serial\n";

You are using printf when you should be using print.

foreach (<RTR>) { chomp( $rtr = "$_" );

foreach needs to read the entire file into memory first before it can loop through the lines.    The usual, more efficient method is to use a while loop if you only need one line at a time.

Why are you copying the value in $_ to a string when it is already a string?
