I installed the pre-req for Net::SNMP, but when running "./check_ifstatus -h
" command, show me :
****************************************************************************
**********************************************
[root at monitor libexec]# ./check_ifstatus -h
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Net/SNMP/Security/USM.pm line 88.
check_ifstatus plugin for Nagios monitors operational
status of each network interface (except PPP interfaces) on the target host

Usage:

   -C (--community)  SNMP read community (defaults to public,
                     used with SNMP v1 and v2c
   -v (--snmp_version)  1 for SNMP v1 (default)
                        2 for SNMP v2c
                        SNMP v2c will use get_bulk for less overhead

Why seem the message "Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or

?

Thank you.
