BOOK How to Manage Your Network Using SNMP
A recent news:comp.lang.tcl message [[email protected]] 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.
