Yes.

One option would be to use the "pass" mechanism, to invoke a script,
which could then call your other program(s).   See the section
"MIB-Specific Extension Commands" in 'snmpd.conf(5)' for details.

It may also be possible to invoke perl directly from within the agent
(depending on how it was configured/compiled).  See the section
"Embedded Perl Support" in the same man page.
