Check_ifstatus / SNMP.pm problem

[Nolan Martin]

That did the trick.  

I removed SNMP.pm and reinstalled the module through the CPAN shell. 
It now works.

Thank you very much.

then sombody must have installed the perl module by hand.

the UCD SNMP extension module should be installed in 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.x.x/SNMP.pm

the Net::SNMP modules should be installed in 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.x.x/Net/SNMP.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.x.x/Net/SNMP/*


remove the SNMP.pm in the site_perl/5.x.x/Net sub dir and reinstall the

module.
