Sometimes I need to locate quickly a computer in the buidling and
the only information I have at first, is the IP address (and
most of the time, it's a DHCP IP address, so there is many
places possible it could be).
With the MAC address, it's easy to locate on which port of
a switch it is plugged. And when i know on which port of
the switch it is plugged, I know where in the building the
computer is. There's many switchs and routers, so I wanted to have a little
perl script which would quickly gather all the informations
on a machine.
I think my problem is more how to use SNMP to get what
I want than a Perl one. Net::SNMP seems the way to do it. I just
need to find how, but that's not a perl issue now :)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
