You can go at my web site http://asilveira.dyndns.org and click on  CVS,
you fall in my cvsweb where you can extract the sources of my framework
to create snmp agents, it is pure Perl. You will find how to open
sockets in server mode and how to use them in client mode. To server
mode look in snmpRAD.pm or snmptrapd, concerning client mode look in
snmpinfo or snmpinfo.

You can try also with cvs checkout with user "anonymous" and password
"cvs" to extract directly all the contents.

Sorry about documentation, I must write it in english, actually it is
partially in french, before to put the modules in CPAN.
