Need help using embedded perl with Solaris...

Hi everyone,

I wrote a perl script to return various stats on specific processes.
I've included the script in snmpd.conf as:

pass .1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.10.1 /usr/local/share/snmp/snmp-proctable.pl

Which allows me to do stuff like:

# time snmpwalk -c ******** -O s -v 2c devunix7 .1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.10.1.4.1.13
netSnmp.10.1.4.1.13 = INTEGER: 9
real    0m0.728s
user    0m0.034s
sys     0m0.006s

FYI - .13 is 13th stat from Proc::ProcessTable, .1.13 is the first
process defined in an array of process names, and .4.1.13 is the fourth
user defined in an array of user names.

I think I'm running into some performance issues for 2 reasons... The
first is that Proc::ProcessTable reads the process table every time
Net-SNMP runs the script. Since I'm data collecting about 60 OIDs every
2 mins, that's quite a bit of overhead. I could probably -- although I
dont know how -- have Net-SNMP set a global variable every 15-30 secs
with the current process table, and then my script could use that
variable. I would, of course, need the --enable-embedded-perl
functionality to do this. :-)

So this brings me to my second problem, I cannot compile v5.3.0.1 on
Solaris with --enable-embedded-perl! :-( I've tried using
--with-out-mib-modules='ucd-snmp/memory', but get the same result:

/usr/include/sys/swap.h:47: #error "Cannot use swapctl in the large
files compilation environment"

And since I'm not using an embedded perl, the OS perl is probably adding
some overhead as well.

I've compiled v5.3.0.1 with the following options:

./configure --enable-internal-md5 --with-perl-modules --enable-shared
--with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl --with-mib-modules='host disman/event-mib
smux mibII/mta_sendmail ucd-snmp/diskio agentx ucd-snmp/dlmod'
--with-cc=gcc --with-default-snmp-version='2'
--with-sys-contact='[email protected]' --with-sys-location=''
--with-logfile=/var/log/snmpd.log
--with-persistent-directory=/var/net-snmp/

Can anyone suggest any way I can get embedded perl to compile on Solaris?

Thanks!
js.
