TH> I'm executing the 1st example (get sysUpTime) in the TH> Net::SNMP module at TH> http://search.cpan.org/doc/DTOWN/Net-SNMP-4.0.1/lib/Net/SNMP.pm TH> The example is failing with the error TH> ERROR: Expected OBJECT IDENTIFIER in dotted notation TH> this is occurring because the $result is undefined. I copied Example 1 and changed the 'localhost' and 'public' strings to be appropriate, and it worked just fine. my ($session, $error) = Net::SNMP->session( -hostname => shift || 'localhost', #<=== Change -community => shift || 'public', #<=== Change -port => shift || 161 ); output: sysUpTime for host '10.11.145.1' is 94 days, 17:03:54.95 This was a Cisco switch/router.
