Hi, I would like to do the following, but I'm not sure I'm using the best method:
A perl script, running on a Sparc/Solaris 10 machine, should wait for incoming SNMP trap packets (on port 162 for instance). When it receives a trap, it should decode it and do some processing on it, and then resume waiting for the next trap. Am I correct in assuming that this cannot be done from within Perl with the net-snmp perl modules? I found some clues elsewhere that I should use the "snmptrapd" binary and use the embedded perl functions of it, to call my script when snmptrapd receives a message. This could work, but would be impractical since the embedded perl option requires a perl binary compiled without large file support. I do not own the target system and hence cannot replace the compiler/interpreter. I could ship my software with a specially-compiled perl, but that would give me cross-platform issues I was hoping to avoid.
