in reply to Re^5: Net::SNMP ASN1 Type error
in thread Net::SNMP ASN1 Type error

Thanks for your help Ken. I neglected to mention that this is running on ActiveState Perl. I copied my code and ran it on OSX in a shell and had no issues with the INTEGER constant. I re-installed the Net::SNMP module on my Activestate Windows box, but still get the same error. In this case, probably not a huge deal, I'll do a work around by using the system command to run snmpset in a dos prompt. I just hate doing that, seems slower and more clunky. Thanks again.

    I also have Activestate (v5.10.1) on Windows XP and the above code from Ken works fine for me - no issue with bareword INTEGER.

    What version of Net::SNMP are you using - I'm at v6.0.0. I've seen this error in the past with older versions of Net::SNMP, the fix was as described above in the 'use' line:

    use Net::SNMP qw(:asn1 :snmp);

    I have a Windows box but I'm running Strawberry Perl. Worked fine here too:

    C:\_\tmp>net_snmp_problem.pl
No response from remote host "127.0.0.1"
C:\_\tmp>

    The earlier output was from Cygwin.

    I've got Perl 5.12.0 on both and Net::SNMP 6.0.1 on both. I didn't have Net::SNMP running on either so they're both fresh installs and the latest version.

    And, unfortunately, that's me completely out of ideas.

      I am using Net::SNMP 6.0.1 on Activestate 5.12.1. I'm not sure what is going on, perhaps I will reinstall everything. I added the qw's to the use line to no avail. Thanks again for all of your help.

        I also had this problem and found that I was able to fix it like this: 
        my $result = $modemSession->set_request(-varbindlist => ['1.3.6.1.2.1.
+69.1.1.3.0', Net::SNMP::INTEGER, 1]);

    I was able to get this to work by using the asn.1 value for INTEGER (2) and OCTET_STRING (4).
