Isn't that the same library that BigSister uses to perform SNMP checks?
They work just fine.

Anyway, an update: I added a couple of extra log messages to snmp.pm to  
see what was going on.
It passes the check for SNMP support available, and reaches the actual  
call to send a trap.
The system that is supposed to receive the traps is on the other side of a  
firewall, which is supposed to let them through. My next step is to get  
the firewall admin to check the logs to see if they show up at all, and  
whether the firewall actually lets them pass.

Thanks,

Peter
