SNMP.pm / specifying MIB module as well as the leaf identifier

Is it possible to hand the MIB module plus the leaf identifier to the Perl 'get' 
method?


This works:
$oid = 'ifDescr';
$val = $session->get($oid};

This does not:
$oid = 'IF-MIB::ifDescr';
$val = $session->get($oid};

failing with the following error:

error: get: unknown object ID (IF-MIB) at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/
x86_64-linux-thread-multi/SNMP.pm line 663.


I would like to do this because one of the enterprise MIB modules I load 
(Broadcom) ... defines ifDescr (and ifName).

I tried setting 'UseLongNames' to 1 ... didn't help ... I'm guessing that this 
affects output rather than input.

Longer snippet of code below:


   # Define SNMP session
   $session = new SNMP::Session (    Community      =>  $read,
                                     DestHost       =>  $host,
                                     RemotePort     =>  $port,
                                     Retries        =>  $retries,
                                     UseSprintValue =>  $translate,
   				    UseLongNames   =>  $long_names,
                                     Timeout        =>  $timeout,
                                     Version        =>  $version
                                 );
   unless (defined $session) {
     print_it("Cannot build SNMP object for $host");
     return;
   }

   # Perform the get
   $val = $session->get($oid);
   $error = $session->{ErrorStr};
   undef $error if $error eq $EMPTY_STR;
