[ale] SNMP programming with PERL

[Ken Nagorski]

Ha - The Net::SNMP for i686 linux failed the CPAN tests, whatever that 
means... Of, course I would be set if I had an irix. 

What I am really looking for is information about how to get the bandwidth 
data from an interface... I am sure I can find a perl mod that will work 
and really once I get that all I have to do is a little math... 

OK - Thanks
Ken

But I don't want to go among mad people,
Alice remarked.
Oh, you can't help that, said the Cat:
we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.
How do you know I'm mad? said Alice.
You must be, said the Cat,
or you wouldn't have come here.
