SNMP.pm not installing on FC6
I have been trying to install SNMP.pm from CPAN but CPAN says the following:
[code:1][root@scratchy html]# perl -MCPAN -e ‘install SNMP’
CPAN: File::HomeDir loaded ok
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata

Running install for module SNMPThe module SNMP isn’t available on CPAN.
Either the module has not yet been uploaded to CPAN, or it is
temporary unavailable. Please contact the author to find out
more about the status. Try ‘i SNMP’.Apparantly, I need this to run the pandora_network server because when I try to start it up it tells me the following:
[code:1]
[pandora@scratchy pandora_server]$ ./pandora_network start
Can’t locate SNMP.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi…
… at ./pandora_network.pl line 31.
BEGIN failed–compilation aborted at ./pandora_network.pl line 31.
Cannot start Pandora Network Server. AbortedI have Net::SNMP installed but read in another post here that pandora can only use SNMP.pm and not Net::SNMP (it seems to start fine if I change it to use Net::SNMP but I don’t want to take a chance that it isn’t working properly).
I have the pandora_server, pandora_snmpconsole, and pandora_console up and running. Can you help me with the pandora_network server?
Thank you!

net-snmp-perl and Net::SNMP are two different things.
net-snmp-perl is the perl bindings for the snmp library at
http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/, which provides an SNMP.pm without the
Net:: prefix.Net::SNMP is a perl module from http://search.cpan.org/dist/Net-SNMP/
which provides Net::SNMP (i.e. it would be
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/Net/SNMP.pm). You can find RPMs for
this package in Dag’s repo: http://dag.wieers.com/packages/perl-Net-SNMP/
