This var is not set in my installation. Setting it and/or copying the
modules from /usr/... to ~/devmon.../modules finds the Convert-module,
but devmon complains next about not finding the SNMP module, which,
according to a cpan "install SNMP" is uptodate.
 
But following your further suggestions and RTFMing again, seems SNMP 
does not include SNMP::SESSION, which devmon requires. Getting and 
compiling it from the website mentioned in devmon's INSTALLATION 
text, devmon works now.

Sorry for the noise and thanks for your reply, which brought me on the
right track.

Yours
