Re: Retriving IfPhysAddress using Perl doesn't work

yes It's a format convesion problem. The string is 6 character long and as
defined in RFC1213 is an OCTECT STRING (6).
Now The problem is how to convert it. I think I should use the unpack
function but I don't know how...
One more question... Is It possible to solve the problem at a deeper level
modifing something in SNMP.pm? There al many applications I would like to
use (SNMP::Info, Net::SNMP::Interfaces)
which suffer the same bug...
