Net::SNPP − Simple Network Pager Protocol Client
use Net::SNPP; # Constructors $snpp = Net::SNPP->new(’snpphost’); $snpp = Net::SNPP->new(’snpphost’, Timeout => 60);
This module is not complete, yet !
This module implements a client interface to the SNPP protocol, enabling a perl5 application to talk to SNPP servers. This documentation assumes that you are familiar with the SNPP protocol described in RFC1861 .
A new Net::SNPP object must be created with the new method. Once this has been done, all SNPP commands are accessed through this object.
This example will send a pager message in one hour saying "Your lunch is ready"
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w use Net::SNPP; $snpp = Net::SNPP->new(’snpphost’); $snpp->send( Pager => $some_pager_number, Message => "Your lunch is ready", Alert => 1, Hold => time + 3600, # lunch ready in 1 hour :-) ) ⎪⎪ die $snpp->message; $snpp->quit;
new ( [ HOST , ] [ OPTIONS ] )
This is the constructor for a new Net::SNPP object. "HOST" is the name of the remote host to which a SNPP connection is required.
If "HOST" is not given, then the "SNPP_Host" specified in "Net::Config" will be used.
"OPTIONS" are passed in a hash like fashion, using key and value pairs. Possible options are:
Timeout − Maximum time, in seconds, to wait for a response from the SNPP server (default: 120)
Debug − Enable debugging information
Example:
$snpp = Net::SNPP->new(’snpphost’, Debug => 1, );
Unless otherwise stated all methods return either a true or false value, with true meaning that the operation was a success. When a method states that it returns a value, failure will be returned as undef or an empty list.
reset ()
help ()
Request help text from the server. Returns the text or undef upon failure
quit ()
Send the QUIT command to the remote SNPP server and close the socket connection.
"Net::SNPP" exports all that "Net::CMD" exports, plus three more subroutines that can bu used to compare against the result of "status". These are :− "CMD_2WAYERROR", "CMD_2WAYOK", and "CMD_2WAYQUEUED".
