Hi Vinh, Thanks for the input ☺ Yes, but my ‘c’ went out of production in the 90's with my last 'c' project (get a vt220 terminal emulation to work on an Amiga 500, which it did). The reason for using perl, is that the projects that I would like to see using an snmp agent to allow data to be seen by other Network Management products all use perl. I really want to make a good tutorial so that the learning curve isn't too steep for those who might be tempted to follow the idea...
Having said that, I think the process you describe is the "best" way as one would have written the mib (documentation): especially as snmptable requires a mib. But for many people, the perl way could be the best for a quick "proof of concept". I just have to find out how to make a couple of subroutines based on my example that can stuff a hash with values that work with snmpwalk so that they can use time on the logic of getting their application data into the agent.

You would need to create a mib and then use mib2c to create a subagent skeleton code. Vinh
