Hi Niall. Thanks for chiming in here.
You are right, and Lyle stated the same thing to me - that a) SNMP didn't appear to be running, and that was true. I have kicked that off.. launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.net-snmp.snmpd.plist But it also was stated that I needed to install Pod:Usage PERL module via CPAN. I did take a look at this before emailing the list, and I'm actually installing Pod-parser-1.38. This was actually confusing at first when searching CPAN because: There is Pod::Usage (pod-parser-1.38), Pod::Usage::CommandLine (pod-usage-commandline-0.04), Pod::Usage (perl-5.8.1). When I take a look at the last one, that is Pod::Usage (perl-5.8.1), wouldn't this be unnecessary since I am running perl 5.10.0, seeing that this package is perl-5.8.1. nevertheless, the Pod-parser compile is going on right now, and its been chugging for over an hour!?
