Summary: Uninitialized value warning in check_ifoperstatus

Initial Comment:
I've been seeing this error for the last few weeks with
this plugin.  This is the message returned by the
plugin when invoked via Nagios:

**ePN /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ifoperstatus: "Use
of uninitialized value in numeric gt (>) at (eval 3257)
line 359". 

Nagios displays an 'orange' status for this check.

line 359 looks like this:

unless ($snmpkey > 0 || defined $ifdescr){


When the command is executed manually, it looks like this:

[root at tornado plugins]#
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ifoperstatus -H
192.168.0.1 -C snmpaccess -d ATM0
OK: Interface ATM0 (index 1) is up.[root at tornado plugins]# 

(I wonder if a missing CR at the end is a bad thing..)

No - leave this open.  Need to check what ePN changes have
happened to cause this.

Disabled --enable-embedded-perl with Nagios and the error
has gone and all looks OK.  Shall I close this and re-open a
bug with Nagios instead or is this possibly just a bad
interaction between the plugin and embedded perl?

Using both -CVS of Nagios and -CVS of nagiosplug...

The config on this has not changed for many months..  Is it
worth me disabling the ePN to test?

This is strange. snmpkey is initialized to 0 and you are
using -d so snmpkey should remain at 0.

Which version of nagios and plugin?

How long has Nagios with ePN been running?
