Hi

Is it possible to allow args for perl do?

At the present moment, it seems like a correct way to document ones snmpd.conf with a visible showing of $regat

Best regards,
Owen Brotherwood

See extended example in:

The example in wiki works well enough for there not to be any reason to bother about argv etc ...

except for problem that only one of these will work ...

perl print STDERR "Perl extentsions:\n"
perl $regat = '.1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.998'; $mibdata = '/etc/passwd'; $delimT=''; $delimV=':'; do "/etc/snmp/myext.pl";
perl $regat = '.1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.999'; $mibdata = '/etc/group'; $delimT=''; $delimV=':'; do "/etc/snmp/myext.pl";

In answer to the original question:
No - it is not possible for "do FILE;" to take arguments.

This is not a restriction of the Net-SNMP code - it is
inherent in the behaviour of this particular perl statement.
If you check the relevant perl documentation
(e.g. http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/do.html\)
you'll see that "do" takes a single argument,
specifying the name of the file to execute.

We can't change this behaviour ourselves - you would
need to persuade the Perl developers to make such a change.
