FAQ:Perl 01

Where can I get the perl SNMP package?

Joe Marzot's excellent perl SNMP module, which requires the ucd-snmp library, is now included in the ucd-snmp source release. It's located in the perl/SNMP subdirectory of the ucd-snmp source tree.

It can also be found at any Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN) site mirror in modules/by-module/SNMP. To find the CPAN site nearest you, please see http://www.cpan.org/SITES.html.

With the v5 release of the Net-SNMP suite, this is now accompanied by a number of perl modules grouped together under the NetSNMP namespace.

Consult the README file in the SNMP perl module distribution to find out what version of the ucd-snmp library it needs to be linked against.
