[Devmon] Don't use 'x' in OID names used in MATH

[W.J.M. N. <Wim...@nl...>]

Hello,

for a test (of a Cisco switch) the following OID is defined in file 'oids':
  ifDuplexNum : .1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.19      : branch

In order to make a combined test, this variable was used in a MATH 
transform:

  ifStSpDu : MATH : {ifBps} + {ifOperStatNum} - 1 + ({ifDuplexNum}-1)x7

This resulted in the following error to be logged:
[11-01-04@10:30:29] Failed eval for TRANS_MATH on ifStSpDu.10101: $dep_val[0] + $dep_val[1] - 1 + ({ifDuple*Num}-1)*7 (Bareword "ifDuple" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 2127005512) line 1, <$__ANONIO__> line 16594987.
Bareword "Num" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 2127005512) line 1, <$__ANONIO__> line 16594987.

The 'x' in 'ifDuplexNum' has been changed to a '*' as well. This happens in module dm_tests.pm, function trans_math near line 442:

   # Convert our math symbols to their perl equivalents
    $expr =~ s/x/\*/g;  # Multiplication
    $expr =~ s/\^/**/g; # Exponentiation

The RE sgould be replaced by one which replaces any 'x' outside '{' and '}'. Lacking the knowledge to write such an RE, I've changed the name of the variable, such that is does not contain an 'x' in it any more.

Regards,
  Wim Nelis.
