I recently started using RRDtool, and I wanted to take advantage of the module RRDTool::OO. However, I find no way to create a COMPUTE data source. A peek in the source seems to confirm that this was not implemented.

The author says

For the experienced user, however, it provides full access to rrdtool's API (if you find a feature that's not implemented, let me know).

So, before posting him a bug or something, I would like to check with you if I am right or wrong. Can you confirm that you can't create a COMPUTE data source in RRDTool::OO other than accessing the API directly?

Thanks

• 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).
