Javadocs are located in docs/javadoc. Note that this is a BETA release of Sigar. Hyperic HQ uses Sigar in production, however not all of the Sigar functionality is currently used by HQ. Perl and C# interfaces are still a work in progress. To try the Perl examples: % cd bindings/perl % perl Makefile.PL && make % perl -Mblib ../../examples/perl/ifconfig.pl Support questions should be posted to the support forum: http://www.hyperic.net/forums/index.jsp or mailed to support@hyperic.net
