[RADIATOR] Cannot download SNMPAgent - Bad URL

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Keely -

I think you might find it easier to start with Radiator on *NIX,  
especially as SNMP_Session does not appear to be available using the  
ActivePerl "ppm" utility.

As Radiator is written in Perl, you need some mechanism to install  
additional Perl packages in some cases (depending on what Radiator  
components you wish to use).

On Windows, we generally suggest ActivePerl, as the "ppm" package  
manager makes installing additional modules relatively painless -  
modulo the module being available from ActiveState.

On *NIX, you will typically have compilers, linkers and make available  
to install additional Perl modules:

	perl Makefile.PL

	make

	make test

	make install

	.....

hope that helps

regards

Hugh
