It is also written entirely in Perl, so you +don't have to compile any C modules. It uses the Perl 5 Socket.pm +module and should therefore be very portable, even to non-Unix systems. + +The SNMP operations currently supported are "get", "get-next", and +"set", as well as trap generation and reception. + +For an excellent example of the type of application this is useful +for, see Tobias Oetiker's ``mrtg'' (Multi Router Traffic Grapher) +tool: <URL:http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/mrtg.html> |
