NAME

SNMP::Effective::Dispatch - Base class for SNMP::Effective

DESCRIPTION

SNMP::Effective inherit from this class. The methods here are separated out just for convenience.

PACKAGE VARIABLES

%METHOD

This hash contains a mapping between

$effective->add($key => [...]);
SNMP::Effective::Dispatch::_$key();
SNMP::$value();

This means that you can add your custom SNMP method if you like.

The SNMP::Effective::Dispatch::_walk() method, is a working example on this, since it's actually a series of getnext, seen from SNMP's perspective.

Example:

$SNMP::Effective::Dispatch::METHOD{'foo'} = 'get';
*SNMP::Effective::Dispatch::_foo = sub {
    my($self, $host) = @_;

    # do stuff...

    return $self->_end($host);
};

my $effective = SNMP::Effective->new(
                    foo => [$oid],
                    # ...
                );

# execute() will then call $effective->_foo($host) when
# $host answer with data
$effective->execute;

METHODS

This method does the actual fetching, and is called by "execute" in SNMP::Effective.
