[mrtg] snmp/perl problem

Hello,

I realize this might not be the best place to ask this question, but I
really don't know where else to ask it. I am trying to use the
SNMP_Session perl module, and do a simple snmpget like this:

    my $oid = "interfaces.ifNumber.0";
    my @response = &snmpget("$rcommunity\@$switch", $oid);
    foreach my $i (@response) {
        print "Response: $response[$i]\n";
    }

When I run this script, I get lots of errors saying :

SNMPGET Problem for interfaces.ifNumber.0 on heehaw at 198.137.240.92
Response: 
SNMP Error:
Received SNMP response with error code
  error status: noSuchName           
  index 1 (OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.1.0.0)
SNMPv1_Session (remote host: "198.137.240.91" [198.137.240.91].161
                  community: "heehaw"                   
                 request ID: 2041879422
                PDU bufsize: 8000 bytes
                    timeout: 2s
                    retries: 5
                    backoff: 1)


If I do this with the snmpget utility on the command line, everything
works fine:

[rabbit][/]% snmpget 198.137.240.92 heehaw interfaces.ifNumber.0
interfaces.ifNumber.0 = 32
[rabbit][/]% 

Any ideas?

Thanks,
MikeF
