Pancho's support for additional hardware and SNMP MIBS is achieved through the use
of vendor specific modules called PlugIns. These files are held in a subdirectory
of the Pancho lib directory. On a Unix based system these files are generally found
in the following location:

  /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Pancho/Plugins/

Adding support for a new vendor is as easy as creating a new .pm file based on the 
template and then placing the file into this directory.

A plugin name should be unique from other files within the /Plugins/ directory and
should end in the ".pm" file suffix. Please review the plugins provided in the Pancho
distribution for real world examples of coding.

We encourage developers to share their new plugins with the user community. The Pancho
Project will provide a central repository for developers to store their plugins so 
they may be downloaded by Pancho users. This will allow coders to develop on their own
timeline rather than be governed by Pancho release dates.
