Where can I get SNMP::VarList

theroninwins has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Ok here is a question that really drives me insane... I am really getting aggressiv over the last 3 days... I need the file

VarList.pm

since I need SNMP to work correctly.
It is all there.
Now on the net they say it is part of SNMP4.2 well that doesn't install under Windows XP (yes I have to work with XP for this) and CPAN also says that it is part of net-snmp (former ucd-snmp) but here the prob is that that first didn't install because it required the ucd-snmp which since i didn't need it in 1999 I didn't have and when i got it and it got installed it was NOT part of it. So now I searched again and found out that it is may be part of SNMP-Simple on CPAN but ... hey wrong again nothing there. By this time I have found script for everything in the world concerning snmp but not that file. The funny thing is though that every script I have uses it but you can't get that file... great isn't it. I am really feeling hell on this.
This all happend in 3 days on which I searched for 7 hours per days.
I also tried SNMP::Multi and no it is not part of it :-).

Looks like SNMP::VarList isn't a separate file, but is a package that is contained within SNMP.pm from the SNMP distribution. If you explain what problems you're having installing the package on WinXP, then someone her might be able to help you. -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply]

Here is the problem that i think could be the fault. When i try to install the snmp 4.2 package it asks me where my ucd-snmp include files are, and it suggests that they are on \usr\local\include and then it asks me where the ucd-snmp libs are suggesting they are on \usr\lib. I changed those paths to what is right but the output is : Where are the ucd-snmp include files? [\usr\local\include] c:/usr/incl +ude Where is the ucd-snmp library installed?

[download] well I never installed ucd-snmp because it is now called net-snmp and that installs nicely, but aas you can see above it doesn't really work although net-snmp still calls it folders ucd-snmp. Any idea what it might be??	[reply] [d/l]

Something that worked for me when I became frustrated with CPAN was actually doing a fresh install. My problem was that I actually deleted a file and (due to user error on my behalf for sure) it would not reinstall it on its own. I took the opportunity to get the latest version of Perl and the latest NET packages that I needed, and this cleared up my issue. I dont know if this could help you but it is an option. (Note that I am fairly new to Perl, so I am sure there may be a less dramatic way of clearing this up)	[reply]
