Can I recommend Schwartz and Phoenix's Learning Perl? :)

Basically, the  big issue here is that neither the $if_ok or
$target_name variables are available when running this template as a
host template. I was about to tell you to run it as an interface
template, until I noticed that you don't get one response per interface
for this variable (at least on my Cisco's).

So drop this line:

> if ($if_ok) {

The variable $router_name should be available when this is run as a host
template. Change the following to something like:

my $target_name = $router_name . ".drop";

> my $target_name = $target_name . ".drop";
> my $directory_name = $directory_name . "";

Do the next two lines appear as one line in the template? They should be
one (but it might be a mail client issue). Also, you might want to use
$router_connect instead--you need the SNMP community string in the
Target line. (And I'm not sure if that space should be there, either).

Finally, drop the '}' at the end, since you've dropped the corresponding
'{' at the top.
