Re^3: Problem using threads and snmp

The "thread failed to start" is a red-herring/badly chosen error message. It simple means that the thread died.

The reason the thread dies is because you are asking it to:

$info = $sess->get($itens) or die "couldn't get info";

There are many reasons why the get() could fail. The first thing to do is get some more information than your error message gives. Appending $sess->error to your message would be a good start.

If that doesn't help you resolve the problem, try enabling debug:

$session->debug( DEBUG_ALL );

See the POD for details.

Once you know why that call is failing, you have a chance to do something about it.

Hello BrowserUK, Thank you for your reply. The error that states is a timeout. What i'm going to try to do is a unique method for all threads . This method will create the snmpsession and do the snmpget. Of course i will have to lock the access to this method. I will keep you posted. Cheers.	[reply]

... . Of course i will have to lock the access to this method .. Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of running the threads in parallel ? I'm uncomfortable with your implementation of the locking to obtain and send data. Subtle bugs in this type code are notoriously difficult to notice/find/fix. My preference would be to use Thread::Queue, which will do all that for you, and probably simplify your main loop considerably. (The sample code, again).

I'd love to see the output when full trace is enabled. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
