This archive contains Perl 5 modules SNMP_Session.pm and BER.pm,
which, when used together, provide rudimentary access to remote SNMP
(v1) agents.
This module differs from existing SNMP packages in that it is
completely stand-alone, i.e. you don't need to have another SNMP
package such as CMU SNMP. 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.
