Hi ,
I tried to build mon and there are a couple of things.
Mon is a perl script. You don't really *build* perl scripts so much as install and run them. Copy the mon program to the location of your choice, give it a config file and run it.
1. Do I need SNMP ?
For Mon itself, no. Depending on which monitor scripts you want to run, maybe. Which monitor plugins you run will determine what dependencies you have.
2. What about Period.pm ? What is that for, where should it be ?
You do need the Time::Period and Time::HiRes perl modules. Providing complete details of how to install these modules is really outside of the scope of the Mon documentation, but in most cases you can probably install them via CPAN. Try running 'perl -MCPAN -e shell'. You may be prompted to configure CPAN if you haven't used the CPAN module before. Its probably safe to just say 'no' at that prompt. When you get to the 'cpan>' prompt type 'install Time::Period' and when that completes type 'install Time::HiRes'. If that doesn't work for you then you have a non-standard perl setup on your machine.
You probably also want Mon::Client, also available from CPAN, or for download from the mon download site.
