Thanks to all those who searched. It appears there are three solutions: - the very last version of Tricklet has a Perl interface. Tricklet is available from dnpap.et.tudelft.nl. The official version (which is a really nice tool to make SNMP request from shell scripts) is in pub/Tricklet/tricklet.1.4.tar.Z. A beta-version (which includes the Perl interface) is in pub/btng/trcklt3b.tar.Z. Thanks for the DNPAP group of the Delft University of Technology which produces so many useful network programs. - there is a Perl interface for the CMU's SNMP package. The CMU stuff is available from lancaster.andrew.cmu.edu in pub/cmu-snmp1.0.tar. The Perl interface can be obtained from its author, Guy Streeter . - there is also a commercial solution with the SMILE (Secure hierarchical network Management in LAN Environment) package. Contact for details. I'm more accustomed to Tricklet and therefore will use it. Thanks again to all the helpful people on the Net and specially to Guenther Schreiner and Hal R. Pomeranz .
