NAME
     NetSNMP::OID - Perl extension for manipulating OIDs

SYNOPSIS
       use NetSNMP::OID;

       my $oid = new NetSNMP::OID('sysContact.0');

       if ($oid < new NetSNMP::OID('ifTable')) {
	   do_something();
       }

       my @numarray = $oid->to_array();

       # appending oids
       $oid = new NetSNMP::OID('.1.3');
       $oid += ".6.1";
       # -> .1.3.6.1

       # appending index strings

       $oid2 = $oid + "\"wes\"";
       # -> .1.3.6.1.3.119.101.115

       $oid3 = $oid + "\'wes\'";
       # -> .1.3.6.1.119.101.115

       $len = $oid3->length();
       # -> 7

       # retrieving indexes from an oid:
       $arrayref = $tableoid->get_indexes()

DESCRIPTION
     The NetSNMP::OID module is a simple wrapper around a C-based net-snmp oid
     (which is an array of unsigned integers).	The OID is internally stored as
     a C array of integers for speed purposes when doing comparisons, etc.

     The standard logical expression operators (<, >, ==, ...) are overloaded
     such that lexographical comparisons may be done with them.

     The + operator is overloaded to allow you to append stuff on to the end of
     a OID, like index segments of a table, for example.

   EXPORT
     int snmp_oid_compare(oid1, oid2) int compare(oid1, oid2)
