Exactly.

That doesn't surprise me greatly.
But I believe the perl modules are the last things to be installed
(and uninstalled),
so if it's failed then, this probably isn't too vital.

Right - those will almost certainly be part of the Ubuntu-provided
version of the package.
I would tend to recommend that you remove this before trying to
compile the software
yourself.   (It's perfectly possible to run the two in parallel.   But
it's also very easy to get
confused between the two, so it's simpler to start with a completely
clean sheet!)

I'm more familiar with RedHat/Fedora - i.e. RPM-based systems rather
than Debian/Ubuntu.
But try using the normal package management tools (?apt, or some
graphical admin tool)
to remove the vendor-provided net-snmp package(s)
