It's a standard SNMP thing. As Dave mentioned, you need a
sub-identifier of ".0" to access ALL scalar variables. Tables, on the
other hand are another matter.

Have a look here,

http://oreilly.com/perl/excerpts/system-admin-with-perl/twenty-minute-snmp-tutorial.html

for a quick understanding of why the ".0" should be there. (They
explain with the sysDesc object, but it's applicable all round)
