How to use agent.pm? Please Help

[Corey M. E. <cor...@co...>]

Hi everyone,
=20
I would like to get a better understanding of how to use the agent.pm
perl module.  I would like to extend the snmp agent.  Currently we have
an extension in c using the 4.2 version of UCD.  I have downloaded the
net-snmp-5.0.6 version, and would like to get an extension working using
the perl modules.
=20
I compiled the package as follows  with no problems.
=20
./configure =96with-embedded-perl
make
make install

Now I would like to understand the usage of agent.pm I read the
perldocs, but I didn=92t get a full understanding.
=20
My understanding is as follows:
=20
1.	I have a MIB that I developed (enterprises.5271.x.x.)
2.	I run the snmpd and compile the MIB into the agent using the
appropriate arguments.
3.	Now that the snmpd has perl embedded and the perl modules are
compiled, I can write a perl script using the agent.pm module and
register it into the agent right?
4.	Then when request come to the snmp agent for my MIB, the perl
script will function \&handler will handle the request right, and pass
the results back to the snmp_agent, who will pass it back to the
original request?

I am trying to use the example in the Synopsis to build a working
example.  I would like to get something working initially where when a
request comes back for an OID in my MIB, it returns =93You did it <oid
string>=94.   Just so I can get the script working.
=20
Can someone please lead me in the right direction, this is for a work
project and I would greatly appreciate any help, examples, or extra
documentation.  Where someone has successfully used the Agent.pm module
to extend the snmp agent.
=20
I would like to gain the following from this thread:
=20
Better understanding of the process, Is what I said above correct as far
as process?
Examples of perl scripts using the Agent.pm
Extra documentation if possible
=20
I don=92t want to use C if I don=92t have to.

Thanks in advance
