Summary: Perl modules all fail with undefined macro errors

Initial Comment:
I downloaded net-snmp-5.0.9.  I was able to
successfully compile and build it on Win32 with MSVC.

Once that was done, I built the perl libraries by
following the directions in the perl\SNMP\README file.
 I hit a problem during the make phase, since
perl\OID\OID.c referecens a function called
snprintf_objid which does not exist anywhere!

After I overcame this issue (I just replaces the call
to snprintf_objid with a call to snprintf and adjusted
the parameters accordingly), the build and the install
completed successfully.  However, now whenever I try to
run any Perl scripts that use any net-snmp functions,
they fail with the error:

Your vendor has not defined NetSNMP::default_store
macro NETSNMP_DS_LIBRARY_ID

For the life of me I cannot figure out why I am getting
this error.  This appears to be a bug in the Perl
libraries that are shipped with net-snmp-5.0.9.

please try V-5-1-patches.   The patches described earlier
are now incorporated.

Did you build the libsnmp_dll project ?
If not, you will have errors with the default_store
(Perl modules need the DLL to share values).

Suggest that you consider using a newer version,
like net-snmp-5.1.1  (V5-1-patches branch at this writing),
apply patch #898464, and use the instructions in README.win32.

Looking at perl\ODI\ODI.c at lines 177 through 187, you will
see the following:

	    Perl_croak(aTHX_ "oid1 is not of type netsnmp_oidPtr");
#line 98 "OID.xs"
        {
            if (oid1->len == 0)
                snprintf(mystr, sizeof(mystr), "Illegal OID");
            else 
               snprintf_objid(mystr, sizeof(mystr),
                             (oid *) oid1->name, oid1->len);
            RETVAL = mystr;
        }

Anyways, I think the write of this code meant to use the
snprint_objid function that you mention below.  I will edit
the code to use that instead.

The other issue relating to the Perl modules complaining
about undefined constants I think is not related to this.  I
have a feeling that that problem is caused because perhaps
the net-snmp Perl pieces were designed for Perl 5.6 but I am
using Perl 5.8.

I haven't tried 5.0.9 on Windows, but I have tried 5.0.8
with the win32 patches.

I don't see a snprintf_objid (with an f) in OID.c, but I do
see a snprint_objid.  snprint_objid is defined in snmplib/mib.c.
