I've played with Net-SNMP's module and it would likely be the best fit for POE. For one thing, the pure-perl SNMP modules have a couple shortcomings: performance and lack of SNMPv3 support. Cricket, an SNMP graphing utility, has patches to switch from the pure-perl modules to Net-SNMP with some nice performance gains reported. While SNMPv3 isn't all that common, it should be ;) The problem is it's a real bugger to keep your configurations up to date without sacrificing the security v3 provides. Oh well. Also, Net-SNMP objects are sessions that you can emit and receive events from. It would truly be an interesting project ....
