I know of, but am not that familiar with, mrtg. I thought it used
perl-snmp for its data collection. Is this not correct?

Well, I don't anticipate changing SNMP implementations again, so once
your scripts are changed, you shouldn't have any more problems. If
you absolutely can't change your scripts, you could try to convince
someone to patch UCD SNMP to support a CMU/Linux compatible output
format and contribute it to the UCD folks.
