The primary object is +SNMP::Session which is implemented as a blessed hash reference. The +object supports 'get', 'set', and 'getNext' method calls. All calls are +blocking/synchronous (i.e., they must receive a response or timeout +before control is returned to the caller). The methods take a variety of +input argument formats(see test.pl and examp/* for examples).
