SNMP::Info - Version 0.7
AUTHOR
Max Baker
SNMP::Info was created at UCSC for the netdisco project
(www.netdisco.org) and is now maintained by Max Baker.
SYNOPSIS
use SNMP::Info;
my $info = new SNMP::Info(
# Auto Discover more specific Device Class
AutoSpecify => 1,
Debug => 1,
# The rest is passed to SNMP::Session
DestHost => 'router',
Community => 'public',
Version => 2
) or die "Can't connect to device.\n"
my $err = $info->error();
die "SNMP Community or Version probably wrong connecting to device. $err\n" if defined $err;
$name = $info->name();
$class = $info->class()
print "SNMP::Info is using this device class : $class\n";
# Find out the Duplex status for the ports
my $interfaces = $info->interfaces();
my $i_duplex = $info->i_duplex();
# Get CDP Neighbor info
my $c_if = $info->c_if();
my $c_ip = $info->c_ip();
my $c_port = $info->c_port();
# Print out data per port
foreach my $iid (keys %$interfaces){
my $duplex = $i_duplex->{$iid};
# Print out physical port name, not snmp iid
my $port = $interfaces->{$iid};
# The CDP Table has table entries different than the interface tables.
# So we use c_if to get the map from cdp table to interface table.
my %c_map = reverse %$c_if;
my $c_key = $c_map{$iid};
my $neighbor_ip = $c_ip->{$c_key};
my $neighbor_port = $c_port->{$c_key};
print "$port: $duplex duplex";
print " connected to $neighbor_ip / $neighbor_port\n" if defined $remote_ip;
print "\n";
}

DESCRIPTION
SNMP::Info gives an object oriented interface to information obtained
through SNMP.
This module lives at http://snmp-info.sourceforge.net Check for newest
version and documentation.
This module is geared towards network devices. Subclasses exist for a
number of network devices and common MIBs.
The idea behind this module is to give a common interface to data from
network devices, leaving the device-specific hacks behind the scenes in
subclasses.
In the SYNOPSIS example we fetch the name of all the ports on the device
and the duplex setting for that port with two methods -- interfaces()
and i_duplex().
The information may be coming from any number of MIB files and is very
vendor specific. SNMP::Info provides you a common method for all
supported devices.
Adding support for your own device is easy, and takes little much SNMP
knowledge.
The module is not limited to network devices. Any MIB or device can be
given an objected oriented front-end by making a module that consists of
a couple hashes. See EXTENDING SNMP::INFO.
Requirements
1. Net-SNMP
To use this module, you must have Net-SNMP installed on your system.
More specifically you need the Perl modules that come with it.
DO NOT INSTALL SNMP:: or Net::SNMP from CPAN!
The SNMP module is matched to an install of net-snmp, and must be
installed from the net-snmp source tree.
The Perl module "SNMP" is found inside the net-snmp distribution. Go
to the perl/ directory of the distribution to install it, or run
"./configure --with-perl-modules" from the top directory of the
net-snmp distribution.
Net-SNMP can be found at http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net
Version 5.0.2 or greater is recommended. Various version 4's will
work, and 5.0.1 is kinda flaky on the Perl side.
Note: Net-SNMP was previously called ucd-snmp.
2. MIBS
SNMP::Info operates on textual descriptors found in MIBs. MIBs are
text databases that are freely and easily obtainable on the Net.
Make sure that your snmp.conf is updated to point to your MIB
directory and that the MIBs are world-readable.
Then run "snmpconf" and setup that directory as default. Move
snmp.conf into /usr/local/share/snmp when you are done.
Basic MIBs
A minimum amount of MIBs to have are the Version 2 MIBs from
Cisco, found at
ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/mibs/v2/v2.tar.gz
To install them :
mkdir -p /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs && cd /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs && tar xvfz /path/to/v2.tar.gz
Version 1 MIBs
You will also need to install some of the version one MIBs from
Cisco :
ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/mibs/v1/v1.tar.gz
Extract
BRIDGE-MIB
SNMP-REPEATER-MIB
STAND-ALONE-ETHERNET-SWITCH-MIB (ESSWITCH-MIB)
by running
mkdir -p /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs
cd /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs
tar xvfz /path/to/v1.tar.gz BRIDGE-MIB.my SNMP-REPEATER-MIB.my ESSWITCH-MIB.my
Fix CISCO-TC-MIB
There is a problem with the Cisco file CISCO-TC.my which is
included from lots of other MIBs. Make the following changes if
you run into errors about "Unsigned32" in this file.
Edit /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs/CISCO-TC.my
Comment out line 192 that says "SMI Unsigned32" with two dashes.
-- SMI Unsigned32
Add "Unsigned32" to the imports after line 19:
IMPORTS
MODULE-IDENTITY,
Gauge32,
Integer32,
Counter64,
Unsigned32,
FROM SNMPv2-SMI
More Specific MIBs
Some non-cisco subclasses will need MIBs other than the basic
one available from Cisco.
Check below under each subclass for requirements.
Design Goals
1. Use of textual MIB leaf identifier and enumerated values
* All values are retrieved via MIB Leaf node names
For example SNMP::Info has an entry in its %GLOBALS hash for
``sysName'' instead of 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.
* Data returned is in the enumerated value form.
For Example instead of looking up 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.3 and
getting back "23"
SNMP::Info will ask for "RFC1213-MIB::ifType" and will get back
"ppp".
2. SNMP::Info is easily extended to new devices
You can create a new subclass for a device by providing four hashes
: %GLOBALS, %MIBS, %FUNCS, and %MUNGE.
Or you can override any existing methods from a parent class by
making a short subroutine.
See the section EXTENDING SNMP::INFO for more details.
When you make a new subclass for a device, please be sure to send it
back to the developers at snmp@warped.org for inclusion in the next
version.
Subclasses
These are the subclasses that implement MIBs and support devices:
Required MIBs not included in the install instructions above are noted
here.
MIB Subclasses
These subclasses implement method to access one or more MIBs. These are
not used directly, but rather inherited from device subclasses.
SNMP::Info::Bridge
BRIDGE-MIB (RFC1286). Inherited by devices with Layer2 service.
SNMP::Info::CDP
CISCO-CDP-MIB. Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) Support. Inherited by
devices serving Layer2 or Layer3.
SNMP::Info::CiscoStats
Provides common interfaces for memory, cpu, and os statistics for
Cisco devices. Provides methods for information in :
OLD-CISCO-CPU-MIB, CISCO-PROCESS-MIB and CISCO-MEMORY-POOL-MIB
SNMP::Info::Entity
ENTITY-MIB. Used for device info in Cisco and other vendors.
SNMP::Info::EtherLike
ETHERLIKE-MIB (RFC1398) - Some Layer3 devices implement this MIB, as
well as some Aironet Layer 2 devices (non Cisco).
SNMP::Info::MAU
MAU-MIB (RFC2668). Some Layer2 devices use this for extended
Ethernet (Media Access Unit) interface information.
Device Subclasses
These subclasses inherit from one or more classes to provide a common
interface to data obtainable from network devices.
SNMP::Info::Layer1
Generic Layer1 Device subclass.
SNMP::Info::Layer1::Allied
Subclass for Allied Telesys Repeaters / Hubs.
Requires ATI-MIB
See SNMP::Info::Layer1::Allied for where to get MIBs required.
SNMP::Info::Layer1::Asante
Subclass for Asante 1012 Hubs.
Requires ASANTE-HUB1012-MIB
See SNMP::Info::Layer1::Asante for where to get MIBs required.
SNMP::Info::Layer2
Generic Layer2 Device subclass.
SNMP::Info::Layer2::Bay
Bay Networks BayStack switch Support. Provides translation from
Bay Network Topology Table information to CDP.
Requires SYNOPTICS-ROOT-MIB and S5-ETH-MULTISEG-TOPOLOGY-MIB
See SNMP::Info::Bay for where to get MIBs required.

Subclass for Cisco Catalyst 1900 and 1900c Devices running
CatOS.
SNMP::Info::Layer2::C2900
Subclass for Cisco Catalyst 2900 devices running IOS.
SNMP::Info::Layer2::Catalyst
Subclass for Cisco Catalyst switches running CatOS. These
switches usually report a model number that starts with ''wsc''.
Note that this class does not support everything that has the
name Catalyst.

Generic Layer3 and Layer2+3 Device subclass.
SNMP::Info::Layer3::Aironet
Subclass for Cisco Aironet wireless access points (AP).
MIBs for these devices now included in v2.tar.gz available from
ftp.cisco.com.
SNMP::Info::Layer3::Foundry
No longer supported.
Subclass for older Foundry Network devices.
Requires FOUNDRY-SN-ROOT-MIB.

USAGE
Constructor
new()
Creates a new object and connects via SNMP::Session.
my $info = new SNMP::Info( 'Debug' => 1,
'AutoSpecify' => 1,
'BigInt' => 1
'DestHost' => 'myrouter',
'Community' => 'public',
'Version' => 2
) or die;
SNMP::Info Specific Arguments :
AutoSpecify = Returns an object of a more specific device class
*See specify() entry*
Debug = Prints Lots of debugging messages
Session = SNMP::Session object to use instead of connecting on own.
BigInt = Return Math::BigInt objects for 64 bit counters. Sets on a global scope, not object.
RetryNoSuch = When using SNMP Version 1, try reading values even if they come back
as "no such variable in this MIB". Defaults to true, set to false if
so desired. This feature lets you read SNMPv2 data from an SNMP version
1 connection, and should probably be left on.
All other arguments are passed to SNMP::Session.
See SNMP::Session for a list of other possible arguments.
A Note about the wrong Community string or wrong SNMP Version :
If a connection is using the wrong community string or the wrong
SNMP version, the creation of the object will not fail. The device
still answers the call on the SNMP port, but will not return
information. Check the error() method after you create the device
object to see if there was a problem in connecting.
A note about SNMP Versions :
Some older devices don't support SNMP version 2, and will not return
anything when a connection under Version 2 is attempted.
Some newer devices will support Version 1, but will not return all
the data they might have if you had connected under Version 1
When trying to get info from a new device, you may have to try
version 2 and then fallback to version 1.
Data is Cached
Methods and subroutines requesting data from a device will only load the
data once, and then return cached versions of that data.
Run $info->load_METHOD() where method is something like 'i_name' to
reload data from a table method.
Run $info->clear_cache() to clear the cache to allow reload of both
globals and table methods.
Object Scalar Methods
These are for package related data, not direcly supplied from SNMP.
$info->clear_cache()
Clears the cached data. This includes GLOBALS data and TABLE METHOD
data.
$info->debug(1)
Returns current debug status, and optionally toggles debugging info
for this object.
$info->device_type()
Returns the Subclass name for this device. "SNMP::Info" is returned
if no more specific class is available.
First the device is checked for Layer 3 support and a specific
subclass, then Layer 2 support and subclasses are checked for.
This means that Layer 2 / 3 switches and routers will fall under the
SNMP::Info::Layer3 subclasses.
If the device still can be connected to via SNMP::Info, then
SNMP::Info is returned.
Algorithm for Subclass Detection:
Layer3 Support -> SNMP::Info::Layer3
Aironet (non IOS) -> SNMP::Info::Layer3::Aironet
Catalyst 3550 -> SNMP::Info::Layer3::C3550
Catalyst 6500 -> SNMP::Info::Layer3::C6500
Foundry -> SNMP::Info::Layer3::Foundry
Elsif Layer2 (no Layer3) -> SNMP::Info::Layer2
Aironet (Cisco) AP1100 -> SNMP::Info::Layer2::Aironet
Bay Networks -> SNMP::Info::Layer2::Bay
Catalyst 1900 -> SNMP::Info::Layer2::C1900
Catalyst 2900XL/2950(IOS) -> SNMP::Info::Layer2::C2900
Catalyst 3550/3548 -> SNMP::Info::Layer3::C3550
Catalyst WS-C 2926,5xxx -> SNMP::Info::Layer2::Catalyst
HP Procurve -> SNMP::Info::Layer2::HP
Elsif Layer1 Support -> SNMP::Info::Layer1
Allied -> SNMP::Info::Layer1::Allied
Asante -> SNMP::Info::Layer1::Asante
Else -> SNMP::Info
$info->error(no_clear)
Returns Error message if there is an error, or undef if there is
not.
Reading the error will clear the error unless you set the no_clear
flag.
$info->has_layer(3)
Returns non-zero if the device has the supplied layer in the OSI
Model
Returns "undef" if the device doesn't support the layers() call.
$info->snmp_comm()
Returns SNMP Community string used in conncetion
$info->snmp_ver()
Returns SNMP Version used for this connection
$info->specify()
Returns an object of a more-specific subclass.
my $info = new SNMP::Info(...);
# Returns more specific object type
$info = $info->specific();
Usually this method is called internally from new(AutoSpecify => 1)
See device_type() entry for how a subclass is chosen.
Globals (Scalar Methods)
These are methods to return scalar data from RFC1213.
Some subset of these is probably available for any network device that
speaks SNMP.
$info->uptime()
Uptime in hundreths of seconds since device became available.
(sysUpTime)
$info->contact()
(sysContact)
$info->name()
(sysName)
$info->location()
(sysLocation)
$info->layers()
This returns a binary encoded string where each digit represents a
layer of the OSI model served by the device.
eg: 01000010 means layers 2 (physical) and 7 (Application)
are served.
Note: This string is 8 digits long.
See $info->has_layer()
(sysServices)
$info->ports()
Number of interfaces available on this device.
Not too useful as the number of SNMP interfaces usually does not
correspond with the number of physical ports
(ifNumber)
Table Methods
Each of these methods returns a hash_reference to a hash keyed on the
interface index in SNMP.
Example : $info->interfaces() might return
{ '1.12' => 'FastEthernet/0',
'2.15' => 'FastEthernet/1',
'9.99' => 'FastEthernet/2'
}
The key is what you would see if you were to do an snmpwalk, and in some
cases changes between reboots of the network device.
Partial Table Fetches
If you want to get only a part of an SNMP table and you know the IID for
the part of the table that you want, you can specify it in the call:
$local_routes = $info->ipr_route('192.168.0');
This will only fetch entries in the table that start with "192.168.0",
which in this case are routes on the local network.
Remember that you must supply the partial IID (a numeric OID).
Partial table results are not cached.
Interface Information
$info->interfaces()
This methods is overriden in each subclass to provide a mapping
between the Interface Table Index (iid) and the physical port name.
$info->if_ignore()
Returns a reference to a hash where key values that exist are
interfaces to ignore.
Ignored interfaces are ones that are usually not physical ports or
Virtual Lans (VLANs) such as the Loopback interface, or the CPU
interface.
$info->i_index()
Default SNMP IID to Interface index.
(ifIndex)
$info->i_description()
Description of the interface. Usually a little longer single word
name that is both human and machine friendly. Not always.
(ifDescr)
$info->i_type()
Interface type, such as Vlan, 10baseT, Ethernet, Serial
(ifType)
$info->i_mtu()
INTEGER. Interface MTU value.
(ifMtu)
$info->i_speed()
Speed of the link, human format. See munge_speed() later in document
for details.
(ifSpeed)
$info->i_mac()
MAC address of the interface. Note this is just the MAC of the port,
not anything connected to it.
(ifPhysAddress)
$info->i_up()
Link Status of the interface. Typical values are 'up' and 'down'.
(ifOperStatus)
$info->i_up_admin()
Administrative status of the port. Typical values are 'enabled' and
'disabled'.
(ifAdminStatus)
$info->i_name()
Interface Name field. Supported by a smaller subset of devices, this
fields is often human set.
(ifName)
$info->i_alias()
Interface Name field. For certain devices this is a more human
friendly form of i_description(). For others it is a human set field
like i_name().
(ifAlias)
Interface Statistics
$info->i_octet_in(), $info->i_octets_out(), $info->i_octet_in64(),
$info->i_octets_out64()
Bandwidth.
Number of octets sent/received on the interface including framing
characters.
64 bit version may not exist on all devices.
NOTE: To manipulate 64 bit counters you need to use Math::BigInt,
since the values are too large for a normal Perl scalar. Set the
global $SNMP::Info::BIGINT to 1 , or pass the BigInt value to new()
if you want SNMP::Info to do it for you.
(ifInOctets) (ifOutOctets) (ifHCInOctets) (ifHCOutOctets)
$info->i_errors_in(), $info->i_errors_out()

(ifHCOutUcastPkts)
$info->i_pkts_nucast_in(), $info->i_pkts_nucast_out(),
Number of packets sent to a multicast or broadcast address.
These methods are depricated by i_pkts_multi_in() and
i_pkts_bcast_in() according to IF-MIB. Actual device usage may vary.

$info->i_pkts_multi_in() $info->i_pkts_multi_out(),
$info->i_pkts_multi_in64(), $info->i_pkts_multi_out64()

(ipAdEntNetMask)
$info->ip_broadcast()
Gives broadcast address for IP table entry.
(ipAdEntBcastAddr)
IP Routing Table
$info->ipr_route()
The route in question. A value of 0.0.0.0 is the default gateway
route.
("ipRouteDest")
$info->ipr_if()
The interface (IID) that the route is on. Use interfaces() to map.
("ipRouteIfIndex")
$info->ipr_1()
Primary routing metric for this route.
("ipRouteMetric1")
$info->ipr_2()
If metrics are not used, they should be set to -1
("ipRouteMetric2")
$info->ipr_3()
("ipRouteMetric3")
$info->ipr_4()
("ipRouteMetric4")
$info->ipr_5()
("ipRouteMetric5")
$info->ipr_dest()
From RFC1213:
"The IP address of the next hop of this route.
(In the case of a route bound to an interface
which is realized via a broadcast media, the value
of this field is the agent's IP address on that
interface.)"
("ipRouteNextHop")
$info->ipr_type()
From RFC1213:
other(1), -- none of the following
invalid(2), -- an invalidated route
-- route to directly
direct(3), -- connected (sub-)network
-- route to a non-local
indirect(4) -- host/network/sub-network
"The type of route. Note that the values
direct(3) and indirect(4) refer to the notion of
direct and indirect routing in the IP
architecture.
Setting this object to the value invalid(2) has
the effect of invalidating the corresponding entry
in the ipRouteTable object. That is, it
effectively disassociates the destination
identified with said entry from the route
identified with said entry. It is an
implementation-specific matter as to whether the
agent removes an invalidated entry from the table.
Accordingly, management stations must be prepared
to receive tabular information from agents that
corresponds to entries not currently in use.
Proper interpretation of such entries requires
examination of the relevant ipRouteType object."
("ipRouteType")
$info->ipr_proto()
From RFC1213:
other(1), -- none of the following
-- non-protocol information,
-- e.g., manually configured
local(2), -- entries
-- set via a network
netmgmt(3), -- management protocol
-- obtained via ICMP,
icmp(4), -- e.g., Redirect
-- the remaining values are
-- all gateway routing
-- protocols

("ipRouteProto")
$info->ipr_age()
Seconds since route was last updated or validated.
("ipRouteAge")
$info->ipr_mask()
Subnet Mask of route. 0.0.0.0 for default gateway.
("ipRouteMask")
$info->ipr_info()
Reference to MIB definition specific to routing protocol.
("ipRouteInfo")
Setting data via SNMP
This section explains how to use SNMP::Info to do SNMP Set operations.
$info->set_METHOD($value)
Sets the global METHOD to value. Assumes that iid is .0
Returns undef if failed, or the return value from
SNMP::Session::set() (snmp_errno)
$info->set_location("Here!");
$info->set_METHOD($value,$iid)
Table Methods. Set iid of method to value.
Returns undef if failed, or the return value from
SNMP::Session::set() (snmp_errno)
# Disable a port administratvely
my %if_map = reverse %{$info->interfaces()}
$info->set_i_up_admin('down', $if_map{'FastEthernet0/0')
or die "Couldn't disable the port. ",$info->error(1);
NOTE: You must be connected to your device with a ReadWrite community
string in order for set operations to work.
NOTE: This will only set data listed in %FUNCS and %GLOBALS. For data
aquired from overriden methods (subroutines) specific set_METHOD()
subroutines will need to be added.
Quiet Mode
SNMP::Info will not chirp anything to STDOUT unless there is a serious
error (in which case it will probably die).
To get lots of debug info, set the Debug flag when calling new() or call
$info->debug(1);
When calling a method check the return value. If the return value is
undef then check $info->error()
Beware, calling $info->error() clears the error.
my $name = $info->name() or die "Couldn't get sysName!" . $name->error();
EXTENDING SNMP::INFO
Data Structures required in new Subclass
A class inheriting this class must implement these data structures :
$INIT
Used to flag if the MIBs have been loaded yet.
%GLOBALS
Contains a hash in the form ( method_name => SNMP iid name ) These
are scalar values such as name,uptime, etc.
When choosing the name for the methods, be aware that other new Sub
Modules might inherit this one to get it's features. Try to choose a
prefix for methods that will give it's own name space inside the
SNMP::Info methods.
%FUNCS
Contains a hash in the form ( method_name => SNMP iid) These are
table entries, such as the IfIndex
%MIBS
A list of each mib needed.
('MIB-NAME' => 'itemToTestForPresence')
The value for each entry should be a MIB object to check for to make
sure that the MIB is present and has loaded correctly.
$info->init() will throw an exception if a MIB does not load.
%MUNGE
A map between method calls (from %FUNCS or %GLOBALS) and subroutine
methods. The subroutine called will be passed the data as it gets it
from SNMP and it should return that same data in a more human
friendly format.
Sample %MUNGE:
(my_ip => \&munge_ip,
my_mac => \&munge_mac,
my_layers => \&munge_dec2bin
)
Sample Subclass

in the next version of SNMP::Info.
SNMP::INFO INTERNALS
Object Namespace
Internal data is stored with bareword keys. For example $info->{debug}
SNMP Data is stored or marked cached with keys starting with an
underscore. For example $info->{_name} is the cache for $info->name().
Cached Table data is stored in $info->store() and marked cached per
above.
Package Globals
These set the default value for an object upon creation.
$DEBUG
Default 0. Sends copious debug info to stdout. This global sets the
object's debug status in new() unless 'Debug' argument passed in
new(). Change objects' debug status with $info->debug().
$BIGINT
Default 0. Set to true to have 64 bit counters return Math::BigInt
objects instead of scalar string values. See note under Interface
Statistics about 64 bit values.
$NOSUCH
Default 1. Set to false to disable RetryNoSuch option for
SNMP::Session. Or see method in new() to do it on an object scope.
Data Munging Callback Subroutines

'622000000' => 'OC-12',
'622080000' => 'OC-12',
'1000000000' => '1.0 Gbps',
)
munge_ip()
Takes a binary IP and makes it dotted ASCII
munge_mac()
Takes an octet stream (HEX-STRING) and returns a colon separated
ASCII hex string.
munge_octet2hex()
Takes a binary octet stream and returns an ASCII hex string
munge_dec2bin()
Takes a binary char and returns its ASCII binary representation
munge_bits
Takes a SNMP2 'BITS' field and returns the ASCII bit string
munge_counter64
If $BIGINT is set to true, then a Math::BigInt object is returned.
See Math::BigInt for details.
Internaly Used Functions
$info->init()
Used internally. Loads all entries in %MIBS.
$info->args()
Returns a reference to the argument hash supplied to SNMP::Session
$info->class()
Returns the class name of the object.
$info->error_throw(error message)
Stores the error message for use by $info->error()
If $info->debug() is true, then the error message is carped too.
$info->funcs()
Returns a reference to the %FUNCS hash.
$info->globals()
Returns a reference to the %GLOBALS hash.
$info->mibs()
Returns a reference to the %MIBS hash.
$info->munge()
Returns a reference ot the %MUNGE hash.
$info->nosuch()
Returns NoSuch value set or not in new()
$info->session()
Gets or Sets the SNMP::Session object.
$info->store(new_store)
Returns or sets hash store for Table functions.
Store is a hash reference in this format :
$info->store = { attribute => { iid => value , iid2 => value2, ... }
};
$info->_global()
Used internally by AUTOLOAD to load dynmaic methods from %GLOBALS.
Example: $info->name() calls autoload which calls
$info->_global('name').
$info->_set(attr,val,iid)
Used internally by AUTOLOAD to run an SNMP set command for dynamic
methods listed in either %GLOBALS or %FUNCS.
Example: $info->set_name('dog',3) uses autoload to resolve to
$info->_set('name','dog',3);
$info->load_all()
Debugging routine. This does not include any overriden method or
method implemented by subroutine.
Runs $info->load_METHOD() for each entry in $info->funcs();
Returns $info->store() -- See store() entry.
Note return value has changed since version 0.3
$info->all()
Runs $info->load_all() once then returns $info->store();
Use $info->load_all() to reload the data.
Note return value has changed since version 0.3
$info->_load_attr()
Used internally by AUTOLOAD to fetch data called from methods listed
in %FUNCS.
Called from $info->load_METHOD();
$info->_show_attr()
Used internaly by AUTOLOAD to return data called by methods listed
in %FUNCS.
Called like $info->METHOD().
The first time ran, it will call $info->load_METHOD(). Every time
after it will return cached data.
AUTOLOAD
Each entry in either %FUNCS or %GLOBALS is used by AUTOLOAD() to create
dynamic methods.
Note that this AUTOLOAD is going to be run for all the classes listed in
the @ISA array in a subclass, so will be called with a variety of
package names. We check the %FUNCS and %GLOBALS of the package that is
doing the calling at this given instant.
1. Returns unless method is listed in %FUNCS or %GLOBALS for given class
2. If the method exists in %GLOBALS it runs $info->_global(method)
unless already cached.
3. Method is in %FUNCS
4. Run $info->_load_attr(method) if not cached
5. Return $info->_show_attr(method).
Override any dynamic method listed in one of these hashes by creating a
subroutine with the same name.
For example to override $info->name() create `` sub name {...}'' in your
subclass.
