Summary: net-snmp 5.7 perl 'bulkwalk' method still broken?

Initial Comment:
perl 5.8.4
net-snmp 5.7
SunOS xxxxxx 5.10 Generic_144488-09 sun4u sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise

As reported a few years ago, the perl SNMP::Session bulkwalk() method is not returning the results it should be. I've read several posts regarding this bug in 2006-2007, it seemed to be identified and patched so I'm wondering how this could be cropping back up in 5.7. 'make test' in the perl/ directory of the source fails:

make[1]: Entering directory `/users/naadm/npe/src/net-snmp-5.7/perl/SNMP'
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/perl5/5.8.4/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, '../blib/lib', '../blib/arch')" t/*.t
t/async.t ..... All 20 subtests passed 
t/bulkwalk.t .. 1/62 Not an ARRAY reference at t/bulkwalk.t line 59.
t/bulkwalk.t .. Dubious, test returned 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00)


this seems to be the exact same error reported in http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports-bugs/2007-April/117873.html. When I run the sample code posted there, i get the same Not an ARRAY reference error as above. Dumping a reference to the array returned by bulkwalk() yields the parameters I passed to it:

$VAR1 = [
          bless( {
                   'UseLongNames' => 2,
                   'UseEnums' => 0,
                   'NonIncreasing' => 0,
                   'UseNumeric' => 1,
                   'BestGuess' => 0,
                   'SessPtr' => bless( do{\(my $o = 2413192)}, 'SnmpSessionPtr' ),
                   'LocalPort' => 0,
                   'ErrorStr' => '',
                   'UseSprintValue' => 0,
                   'Community' => 'public',
                   'ErrorNum' => 0,
                   'RetryNoSuch' => 0,
                   'UseEnum' => 0,
                   'Retries' => -1,
                   'Version' => '2c',
                   'ErrorInd' => 0,
                   'DestHost' => '10.250.1.66',
                   'Timeout' => -1
                 }, 'SNMP::Session' ),
          2,
          16,
          bless( [
                   bless( [
                            'sysUpTime'
                          ], 'SNMP::Varbind' ),
                   bless( [
                            'ifNumber'
                          ], 'SNMP::Varbind' ),
                   bless( [
                            'ifSpeed'
                          ], 'SNMP::Varbind' ),
                   bless( [
                            'ifDescr'
                          ], 'SNMP::Varbind' )
                 ], 'SNMP::VarList' )
        ];


Any help getting this working is much appreciated.

Hi,

I did a tiny bit of investigation:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports-bugs/2007-April/117873.html
refers to SVN commit ID 15175 which corresponds to git commit 
cdc47d8d067f6768dbe034594e9e7ba8027ded6:

commit cdc47d8d067f6768dbe034594e9e7ba8027ded61
Author: Wes Hardaker <har...@us...>
Date:   Fri Sep 8 03:43:32 2006 +0000

    fix, I think, the bulkwalk problems; all tests pass.  I believe the
patch is the correct combination between the two different patches (the old
one and the new one) that should fix both problems.  NEWS: perl - Fixed the
perl bulkwalk function
    
    
    git-svn-id:
file:///home/hardaker/lib/sf-bkups/net-snmp-convert-svnrepo/trunk@15175
06827809-a52a-0410-b366-d66718629ded


This commit is included in the v5.7 tag, so I believe that if it is still
broken it is because the patch refered to in the URL was not sufficient.
