NAME Net::SNMP - Simple Network Management Protocol DESCRIPTION The module Net::SNMP implements an object oriented interface to the Simple Network Management Protocol. Perl applications can use the module to retrieve or update information on a remote host using the SNMP protocol. Net::SNMP is implemented completely in Perl, requires no compiling, and uses only standard Perl modules. Both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c (Community-Based SNMPv2) are supported by the module. The Net::SNMP module assumes that the user has a basic understanding of the Simple Network Management Protocol and related network management concepts. INSTALLATION To install, cd to the directory containing the unpacked distribution and do one of the following: a. Create a makefile by running Perl against Makefile.PL and then run make: perl Makefile.PL make test make install b. Copy or move the file lib/Net/SNMP.pm from the distribution into a directory named Net in a Perl library directory. DOCUMENTATION Documentation is included at the end of the module in POD format.
