SNMP Trap Translator

The embedded handler will be available in snmptt 1.3. A beta version of
1.3 has been released and is available on the download page.

I've written an embedded version of snmptthandler that will be included in
the next version which I hope to release as a beta soon. I just committed
the new file to CVS so you can grab it from there. The new file is
snmptthandler-embedded.

I need to add some additional variable substitutions for the SNMPv3 engine
IDs and also update the documentation. Here's some info to get started:

Make sure you have the ExtUtils-Embed Perl module. For Fedora, it's
perl-ExtUtils-Embed.

Compile Net-SNMP using:

configure --enable-embedded-perl

I don't know if any of the RedHat or other distributions include embedded
Perl in their binaries.

The Net-SNMP tutorial is here:

http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/Tut:Extending_snmpd_using_perl

Remove the current traphandle from snmptrapd.conf and add:

perl do "/usr/sbin/snmptthandler-e";

I haven't done much testing with this so please let me know if there are
any issues.

Even if snmptt takes a while to process the traps, they should still have
the correct time stamp. When running in daemon mode it pulls the time from
the first line of the trap file generated by snmptthandler*. When running
in stand-alone mode, it takes the current time which is one reason I don't
recommend using stand-alone mode.
