snmp session timed out

Hello everyone,

I am currently doing some scripting in Perl and i am using the Perl module 
for Net-SNMP. I use the following code to establish a snmp session:

$sess = new SNMP::Session (DestHost => $host, Community => $comm, Version 
=> $ver);

if ($sess->{ErrorNum}) { print "Got $sess->{ErrorStr} 
querying $host for.\n";}

This works if the host i am trying to reach is online and is an snmp 
agent. However if i deliberately put the host down, the script should
suposedly go down to the next sentence:

if ($sess->{ErrorNum}) { print "Got $sess->{ErrorStr}
querying $host for.\n";}

and thus it should print:

Got $sess->{ErrorStr} querying $host for.

Bu it doesn't print it. What am i doing wrong here?

Cheers,
Raul de Sa
