The Windows binary on the Net-SNMP site does not include support for 
embedded Perl, but does include the regular Perl modules.  I have never 
compiled embedded Perl with Windows, but maybe someone else has.

I suggest you try using the traphandle token in snmptrapd.conf instead 
to call your Perl script.
