I suggest that you generate several and compare them. I'd stay away from iterate, but table_data and mfd are both good choices. MfD is best if you don't have a good handle on the net-snmp api, as it's mostly 'fill in the blanks' and handles several complex issues for you under the covers. The table_data helper is my second choice, but it is much more spartan and you have to look out for and handle the tricky stuff yourself. [I've actually made good progress in adding to this template to deal with RowStatus handling, which can be pretty trick, but haven't had time to polish it up and check it in.] I'm sure Dave will chime in and defend some of the other options real soon now. :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
