mrtg uses one of two perl modules to perform that work.  Which module is
loaded depends on whether you are using snmp V3 or V1/V2c

If you were to run cfgmaker or mrtg with perl -d, you could stop the
script after the snmp credentials are parsed and either SNMP_util.pm or
Net_SNMP_util.pm is loaded.  Then you could do snmpwalk or snmpget in
the perl debugger.

Full details on the module are available using `perldoc Net_SNMP_util`.
The syntax is mostly the same for both modules, but SNMP_util does not
have any pod associated with it.
