[BOOK How to Manage Your Network Using SNMP]

[BOOK Total SNMP]

A recent news:comp.lang.tcl message [[26049137.0201080024.1d7d0909@posting.google.com]] claims that built in support for SNMP is something missing from Tcl that is built in for [Perl] and/or [Python].  Is this true?  The posting also lists as missing things like [syslog] support, Windows [window events], [COM] support, and [Expect] for windows.  I know this latter is in the works.
He also says this kinds of support is required for [System administration].
[CL]'s answer:  ugh, no.  That is, unless a miracle has happened, the Python and Perl stories for SNMP are not pretty.
