#9 Out of date Windows install walk-through - issues with Perl module installs.

[Anonymous]

I've been attempting to install version 14.0 on a windows 2016 server box. I'm stuck at some of the Perl module dependancies specifically snmp::info. The install instructions for windows from ref 11.12 and the recommended ActivePerl looks like has depricated some of the related net-snmp dependancies or has made changes.

When running switchmap.pl -d 5 the following error is generated:
Can't locate SNMP/Info.pm in @INC (you may need to install the SNMP::Info module) (@INC contains: C:/inetpub/wwwroot/switchmap C:/Perl/site/lib C:/Perl/lib .) at C:/inetpub/wwwroot/switchmap/Switch.pm line 4.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/inetpub/wwwroot/switchmap/Switch.pm line 4.
Compilation failed in require at SwitchMap.pl line 241.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at SwitchMap.pl line 241.

I attempted to find related net-snmp components to fill in the missing file and was able to progress one more step but the version of snmp::info info.pm I found doesn't match the version and I receive errors (sorry, don't have error output for that).

The readme for the linux setup has you grab slightly different named modules. Attempting to do cpan installs of the modules (vs the ActivePerl modules) results in different errors in installing SNMP::Info (can't find netsnmp.lib). I can see there are still some dependancies mis-matches. I may try and install Net-SNMP and SNMP::Info using some different methods.

I have some other tools that perform similar functions but this setup is very easy to use for common switch port lookups (IP addresses, port descriptions, etc) so I'm hoping to keep it and migrate it from my old linux based install to my new windows install (the old linux box is way out of date to try and update and we are mainly a windows shop).

Request: Update the Windows install doc with up to date ActivePerl (or another Perl implimentation) install instructions for all the needed modules. Test and verify walk-through.

Thanks!
