NetSNMP::OID - Perl extension for manipulating OIDs

use NetSNMP::OID; my $oid = new NetSNMP::OID(sysContact.0); if ($oid < new NetSNMP::OID(ifTable)) { do_something(); } my @numarray = $oid->to_array(); # appending oids $oid = new NetSNMP::OID(.1.3); $oid += “.6.1”; # -> .1.3.6.1 # appending index strings $oid2 = $oid + “\”wes\“”; # -> .1.3.6.1.3.119.101.115 $oid3 = $oid + “\wes\”; # -> .1.3.6.1.119.101.115 $len = $oid3->length(); # -> 7 # retrieving indexes from an oid: $arrayref = $tableoid->get_indexes()

The NetSNMP::OID module is a simple wrapper around a C-based net-snmp oid (which is an array of unsigned integers). The OID is internally stored as a C array of integers for speed purposes when doing comparisons, etc.

The standard logical expression operators (<, >, ==, …) are overloaded such that lexographical comparisons may be done with them.

The + operator is overloaded to allow you to append stuff on to the end of a OID, like index segments of a table, for example.
