[sf-lug] Nagios on CentOS (perl-Net-SNMP vs. perl-net-snmp)

[Bill Teeple]

CPAN is nice, but a pre-compiled RPM is nicer.  CPAN is for those  
console jockies who enjoy compiling the code from hand - I find it to  
be a bit intimidating to use (just my opinion - don't flame me).

yum install perl-Net-SNMP

Case Sensitive!

Also - you might need to grab fro DAG repository/site:
http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/

PS - the only reason why I suggest the above, is because you said you  
installed the net-snmp-perl package, but I know it as something  
different - hence the above: perl-Net-SNMP nomenclature
