Net::SNMP can do its IO in either blocking mode or non-blocking, at the callers option. However, it allows only one instance of its dispatcher, and the dispatcher can only handle open blocking sessions or non-blocking ones, but not both types open simultaneously. This has proved to be an onerous limitation in my current project which needs to have mix of both types of calls.
Before I dive into it myself I thought I'd ask if anyone has run into this problem and understands why this is so? It would seem that allowing one blocking and one non-blocking instance of the dispatcher per process would be a useful solution to this problem. I've wondered why the module author didn't do this? TIA, Jim Eshelman Nova Software PS Our current workaround is to shell out to another process with backticks to do the blocking SNMP IO, an expensive and less than ideal solution. Maybe there's a better way? _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list Boston-pm@mail.pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
