  Description     : OO interface to network devices and MIBs through SNMP

SNMP::Info gives an object oriented interface to information obtained through
SNMP. This module is geared towards network devices; subclasses exist for a
number of network devices and common MIBs.

The idea is to give a common interface to data from network devices, leaving
the device-specific hacks behind the scenes in subclasses. The information may
be coming from any number of MIB files and is often vendor specific. SNMP::Info
provides a common API for all supported devices. Adding support for your own
device is easy, and takes little SNMP knowledge. The module is not limited to
network devices. Any MIB or device can be given an objected oriented front-end
by making a module that consists of a couple hashes.

This module was originally written in support of the NetDisco project.
