The main change is the switch from UCD-SNMP to Net-SNMP, gaining asynchronous operation in the process and support for net-snmp configuration files -this will likely affect your perl applications.

This is the Perl5 'SNMP' extension module. The SNMP module provides a
|
|
full featured, tri-lingual SNMP (SNMPv3, SNMPv2c, SNMPv1) API. The
|
|
SNMP module also provides an interface to the SMI MIB parse-tree for
|
|
run-time access to parsed MIB data. The SNMP module internals rely on
|
|
the Net-SNMP toolkit library (previously known as ucd-snmp).
|
|
|
|
The basic operations of the SNMP protocol are provided by this module
|
|
through an object oriented interface for modularity and ease of use.
|
|
The primary class is SNMP::Session which encapsulates the persistent
|
|
aspects of a connection between the management application and the
|
|
managed agent. Internally the class is implemented as a blessed hash
|
|
reference. This class supplies 'get', 'getnext', 'set', 'fget', and
|
|
'fgetnext' and other method calls. The methods take a variety of input
|
|
argument formats and support both synchronous and asynchronous
|
|
operation through a polymorphic API.
