Can't locate Net/SNMP.pm in @INC When Running check_ifstatus

[James Pratt]

I absolutely agree with Frank - you can *really* mess up an RPM-based
distro by using CPAN if you are not VERY careful what you do, so do so
at your own risk! :\

(if you *must* use packages required by CPAN - instead, try and figure
out how to add 3rd party repos such as rpmforge etc, as there is almost
always an RPM pre-built by Dag Wiers or other package maintainers that
you can use and keep your system sane instead). 

Cheers,
Jamie

# yum install perl-Net-SNMP

CPAN can sometimes be useful, but if you're on an RPM system and there's
an RPM available for the perl package you want I would highly recommend
going the RPM route. It's too bad cpan isn't easier to turn into an rpm
(besides cpan2rpm which I often find to be less useful than it's name
would imply.)
