How to change the type of information in zabbix_sender?

Question

Perl

I want to set up to send zabbix trapp from a remote linux machine.
The script should send an integer decimal number to zabbix server.
As a result, the sending occurs, but the zabbix server sees the value only as text, and I need the server to see it as a 64-bit integer.

spoiler

sub zabbix_sender
{
my ($zabbixserver,$hostname,$item,$data) = @_;
my $timeout=10;
print "$data\n";
my $request=sprintf("\n%s\n%s\n%s\n\n",
encode_base64($hostname),encode_base64($item),encode_base64($data));
my $sock = new IO::Socket::INET ( PeerAddr => $zabbixserver, PeerPort => '10051', Proto => 'tcp', Timeout => $timeout);
die "Could not create socket: [email protected]\n" unless $sock;
$sock->send($request);
my @handles=IO::Select->new($sock)->can_read($timeout);
if (scalar(@handles) > 0)
{
$sock->recv($result,1024);
# print "answer from zabbix server $zabbixserver: $result\n";
}
else
{
print "no answer from zabbix server\n";
}
$sock->close();
}

Do I need to change the data format somehow?

How Zabix will process the received data depends on the template.
Rather than stir up your crutches, it's better to take the standard zabbix_sender.
