No experience (SNMP...yikes! *grin*), but a quick look at CPAN:

http://search.cpan.org/Catalog/Networking_Devices_IPC/

shows three sets of registered SNMP-types modules (by my quick
eyeballing). A look at their changlogs, etc. should give you an idea
of which ones are most up-to-date and featureful.

At least a place to start, perhaps. (Apologies if you've already been
down this road!)
