NAME Net::SNMP::XS - speed up Net::SNMP by decoding in XS, with limitations SYNOPSIS use Net::SNMP::XS; # loading it is enough, there are no public symbols DESCRIPTION This module tries to speed up Net::SNMP response packet decoding. It does this by overriding a few selected internal method by (almost) equivalent XS methods. This currently reduces decode time by a factor of ten for typical bulk responses. There are currently the following limitations when using this module: overriding internal functions might cause the module to malfunction with future versions of Net::SNMP error messages will be simpler/different translation will be ignored (all values will be delivered "raw") a moderately modern (>= C99) C compiler is required only tested with 5.10, no intentions to port to older perls duplicate OIDs are not supported REPORT PDUs are not supported AUTHOR Marc Lehmann http://home.schmorp.de/
