You just need to escape the string.  I don't know about windows, but in bash
you would need:
perl cfgmaker  {2P*1ub\$T7\&@192.168.20.202

It looks like the $ is not reserved in whatever shell you are using, so you
might just need to escape the &

I'd also recommend that you at least run snmp version 2 - perl cfgmaker
{2P*1ub\$T7\&@192.168.20.202:::::2

Alternatively, if security is important, snmp v3 is fully supported by mrtg.
