We have no idea. From the project FAQ: I've got a problem with the Net-SNMP module. Can you help? ---------------------------------------------------------- Sorry, despite the similar-sounding name, the Net-SNMP (or Net::SNMP) module is nothing to do with this package, or the NetSNMP modules. Net::SNMP is a "pure-perl" implementation of SNMP support, developed by David Town. The developers of the (C-based) Net-SNMP suite do not have any significant experience in using this particular module, and you'll probably be better off asking for help via CPAN or some other perl-related forum. In fact, the most recent version of David's module (v6.0.0) was uploaded in September last year. If you mean the SNMP (and NetSNMP) modules, then yes - those do date from 2007. > Is that true? For those of us that have our build processes centered on > CPAN, this makes it difficult with regards to the Net::SNMP package. The problem we've always had with using CPAN is ensuring a match between the version of the perl modules and the local libraries. Because the two are fairly tightly linked, there can be problems when people installing code from CPAN that doesn't match the C libraries which they are using. Hence it felt simpler to encourage people to install the perl modules from the same source tree as the C libraries (either directly, or via vendor-supplied packages). That way they should get the correct version for their environment. > So could the latest version be put on CPAN? We've got an admin meeting later today, so I've put this on the agenda.
