&gt; Does anyone know a way to send SNMP requests from Perl?

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 
&lt;gmstreet@guy.b30.ingr.com&gt;. 

- there is also a commercial solution with the SMILE (Secure hierarchical network 
Management in LAN Environment) package. Contact &lt;smile@ira.uka.de&gt; 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 &lt;guenther@ira.uka.de&gt; and Hal R. Pomeranz &lt;pomeranz@nas.nasa.gov&gt;.
