Nope.
Net::SNMP is David Town's "pure-perl" implementation of SNMP.
It is completely independent of our SNMP toolkit.

The "net-snmp-perl" module is effectively a perl wrapper
round the C library (which is why the documentation is full
of dire warnings about using the correct version, and why we
don't host our module on CPAN)

They're two completely separate packages, with two different
APIs.   They both address the same tasks, of course, but
if bb-xsnmp.pl explicitly requires Net::SNMP, then our
perl module won't be any good to you.  (Or vice versa)
