I would ditch that old mib all together, but I still need to get access to
the at.atTable (ARP Cache) for older networking devices. However, I notice
that when I don't load RFC1213-MIB the atTable is found off of mib-2. I'm
not quite sure how this feat of magic is produced since atTable only exists
in RFC1213-MIB but is never IMPORTed. Can I get away without loading
RFC1213 and Net-SNMP takes care of the rest? Will this work for earlier
versions (still supporting back to 5.0)?

I guess I should explain what I'm doing and why here. SNMP::Info connects
to a network device (router,switch,...) and then depending on the vendor
will load up the MIBs needed for that device. It works exclusively on the
textual OIDs (ifOperStatus) and the enumerated results ('up').
I'm not sure I can use a config file for the application and the
SNMP::init_snmp() method, because the configuration including SNMP Version
and mibs changes for each instantiation of my module.
Thanks for the feedback,

I was still subscribed from the perl regex thing and was being lazy. The
next one will be in the right place. :D
