No - that probably won't work. You need to ensure that you're using the SNMP modules that match the version of the C library that you are using. We tend to recommend that you retrieve the relevant source tarball, and use the code from the 'perl' directory. Unless you're very lucky, it's unlikely that CPAN will have the correct version for the particular library that you're using. > I have tried intalling both DTOWN/Net-SNMP-5.2.0 and DTOWN/Net-SNMP-v6.0.1 > to no avail. No config file seem to be present anywhere. David Town's Net:SNMP modules are a completely separate (pure perl) implementation, and have no connection with this project. > As a side note I would like to report that the situation with SNMP under > CPAN is very confusing, here is a list of modules that may look related to > what I'm looking for: > > ----------------- > Module NSNMP (KRAGEN/NSNMP-0.5.tar.gz) > Module NSNMP::Agent (KRAGEN/NSNMP-0.5.tar.gz) > Module NSNMP::Mapper (KRAGEN/NSNMP-0.5.tar.gz) > Module NSNMP::Simple (KRAGEN/NSNMP-0.5.tar.gz) > > Module Net::SNMP (DTOWN/Net-SNMP-v6.0.1.tar.gz) > and a whole bunch of others Neither of these have anything to do with this project. Our FAQ mentions the Net::SNMP module, but not the NSNMP modules. I'll look at adding something about this > Module NetSNMP::ASN (HARDAKER/NetSNMP-ASN-5.0401.tar.gz) > Module NetSNMP::OID (HARDAKER/NetSNMP-OID-5.0401.tar.gz) > Module NetSNMP::TrapReceiver (HARDAKER/NetSNMP-TrapReceiver-5.0401.tar.gz) > Module NetSNMP::agent (HARDAKER/NetSNMP-agent-5.0401.tar.gz) > > Module SNMP (HARDAKER/SNMP-5.0401.tar.gz) > and a whole lot of submodules by many different people. Those _are_ examples of the perl modules from this project. But they're only valid for use with v5.4.1 of the library. Yes - it is confusing. I'll have another look at the perl-related entries in the FAQ, to see how we can improve these explanations.

But please remember that all of the core development team support this project on a voluntary basis in our free time. We have other commitments to our paid employment, which must take priority.
