It is a simple check with cpanp of module updates. man pages are your
friend:

  man cpanp | grep "o " | grep MODULE
             o [ MODULE ... ]    # list installed module(s) that aren't up
to date

"list". NOT install. NOT upgrade.

IT is detecting my Net-SNMP source code -installed module and "offering" to
DOWNGRADE it to some other sourced module.

Like I said. I did NOT install using cpanp.

Before the NetSNMP source install, there was NO perl module installed.
Running "cpanp -o" THEN makes no "downgrade" offer.

After installing the NetSNMP source, there IS a cpan module installed.  NO
cpanp required or used.

But a check BY "cpanp -o" (there ARE other reasons/modules to run it)
detects the "privately" installed SNMP perl module and tries to downgrade
it.
