Writing code :-)

Actually, that's a serious answer.
The pass mechanism is a useful "quick-n-dirty" approach for
adding a new extension - particularly for a read-only MIB.
But it relies on firing off a sub-process for every requested
varbind, so is hardly efficient!  The 'pass-persist' mechanism
helps, but is still less than optimal.

For anything non-trivial (and for reliable handling of SET requests),
you should really be looking at writing a proper C-based module.

Or possibly perl - I'm not sure how complete/efficient the embedded
perl mechanism is.  Wes knows more about that than I do.

In which case, you *definitely* want to talk to Wes.
I'm pretty sure he's already done something similar.
