net-snmp and snmpv3

Hi everyone,
Im trying to get some help for using cricket with snmpv3 and have posted messages in the cricket-users and net-snmp developers list. I am hoping someone here has tried running cricket with snmpv3 before.

My problem:
Though I get snmpwalk etc to work correctly with snmpv3, I am unable to get the perl script snmpUtils.pm to query the router over snmpv3.
Thing I have done so far:
1. Linked  the snmpUtils.pm from /alter/net-snmp to the /lib in cricket's directories
2. included variables in the 'sub opensnmp' to handle the snmpv3 params - like SecName/SecLevel etc
3. edited the target file so that the snmp string is constructed so:
snmp = %snmp-community%@%snmp-host%:%snmp-port%:%snmp-timeout%:%snmp-retries%:%snmp-backoff%:%snmp-version%:%auth-proto%:%auth-pass%:%priv-proto%:%priv-pass%:%sec-name%:%sec-level%

running the collector and looking at snmp debug on the router indicates that the SecName, SecLevel etc are not being  passed to the router. 


So I tried with this simple perl script, and i still dont see the username being passed to the router.

[cricket@moria cricket]$ cat test.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use SNMP;
use vars qw($debug);
my $sess;
$sess = new SNMP::Session(DestHost => '10.100.24.20',
                          Version => 3,
                          SecName => 'readuser',
                          SecLevel => 'noAuthNoPriv');

print $sess;


OUTPUTS:::
[cricket@moria cricket]$ perl -w test.pl
SNMP::Session=HASH(0x8344bdc)

ON THE  ROUTER::::

Appreciate any pointers to help troubleshoot. 
Can someone please confirm that Net-snmp supports snmpv3?
I am running this version : snmptest -V
NET-SNMP version: 5.0.9

Thanks again!
