ActivePerl 5.10 - Cannot locate module in @INC

[<Jam...@ba...>]

All,

I'm using ActivePerl 5.10 (Win32) and attempted to install Net::SNMP using the PPM that ships with net-snmp5.4.2.1-1.win32.exe.

I had to change the <architecture> tag as described in the Wiki, but after doing that, the install proceeded fine and I can see files under c:/Perl/site/lib/NetSNMP/agent/.

The problem occurs when I do a "use Net::SNMP". Perl comes back with "Can't locate Net/SNMP.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/site/lib C:/Perl/lib .)...".

Could anyone suggest how I could resolve this please?

Many thanks

James.

Mike,

Thanks very much for sending me the article, but I'm still confused. I installed the PPM supplied through the net-snmp.org zip. Is this the Pure Perl or the C implementation?

I realise the article also refers to SNMP::Info, but a "use SNMP::Info" turns up the not found in @INC problem. If I list the contents of NetSNMP, these are the files that have been installed via PPM:

C:\Perl\site\lib\NetSNMP>dir
[...]

15/05/2009  15:21    <DIR>          .
15/05/2009  15:21    <DIR>          ..
15/05/2009  15:21    <DIR>          agent
15/05/2009  15:21            13,232 agent.pm
15/05/2009  15:21             2,878 ASN.pm
15/05/2009  15:21            12,139 default_store.pm
15/05/2009  15:21             5,345 OID.pm
15/05/2009  15:21             7,336 TrapReceiver.pm

Perhaps this module doesn't work very well with Activestate v5.10? I notice that it's not available in the usual location: http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/10xx-builds-only/Windows/

The executables themselves (snmpget.exe/snmpwalk.exe) are working fine though, so I'm starting to wonder whether the best method might be to use backticks to drive the exectable and parse the output.

Regards

James.

Anythign obtained from the net-snmp.org website will be the C-based perl module.
It's essentially a perl-based wrapper round the Net-SNMP (C) libraries.

You'd use it by specifying

        use SNMP;
*not*
        use Net::SNMP;


The package Net::SNMP is not related to the Net-SNMP project at all
(apart from covering the same subject area).
    That's the pure-perl module, maintained by David Town.

Net-SNMP 5.4.2.1 for Windows was compiled with Activestate Perl v5.8. 
5.5 will be compiled using v5.10.  There's a binary for 5.5.pre2 
available on the SF site that uses 5.10:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12694&package_id=11571&release_id=672929

I have never tried using a module compiled under Perl 5.8 with Perl 5.10 
but I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't work.  If it does, please let 
me know.

Mike/Alex,

Thanks very much for your help so far. Just to let you know, a "use SNMP;" with ActivePerl 5.10 and Net-SNMP 5.4.2.1 returns...

Can't load 'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/NetSNMP/default_store/default_store.dll' for module NetSNMP::default_store: load_file:The specified module could not be found at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 202.
 at C:/Perl/site/lib/SNMP.pm line 16

The dll is present at the stated location, but for some reason doesn't work. It's not a dll registration issue as that dll doesn't appear to be registerable.

I've downloaded the binary for 5.5-pre2 and installed using PPM. Unfortunately, I get the same error. I'm using Windows 2003 server and installed to the standard path c:\usr.

Regards

James.
