Installing NetSNMP::agent on Cygwin

Hi all,

I have written a small SNMP probe using NetSNMP::agent that's working fine on CentOS 5.5. I installed the required Perl modules as RPM packages using yum (net-snmp-perl-5.3.2.2-9.el5_5.1.x86_64.rpm). Now I would like to be able to test it on Windows under Cygwin, so I tried the following

-----------------
> perl -M CPAN -e shell

cpan[10]> install NetSNMP::agent
Running install for module 'NetSNMP::agent'
Running make for H/HA/HARDAKER/NetSNMP-agent-5.0401.tar.gz
  Has already been unwrapped into directory xxx/cpan/build/NetSNMP-agent-5.0401-L8WCaQ
  '/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL' returned status 512, won't make
Running make test
  Make had some problems, won't test
Running make install
  Make had some problems, won't install
-----------------

When running the installation maually:

-----------------
>perl Makefile.PL
You need to install net-snmp first (I can't find net-snmp-config) at Makefile.PL line 98.
-----------------

I have tried intalling both DTOWN/Net-SNMP-5.2.0 and DTOWN/Net-SNMP-v6.0.1 to no avail. No config file seem to be present anywhere.

What am I supposed to do here?

As a side note I would like to report that the situation with SNMP under CPAN is very confusing, here is a list of modules that may look related to what I'm looking for:

-----------------
Module    NSNMP                  (KRAGEN/NSNMP-0.5.tar.gz)
Module    NSNMP::Agent           (KRAGEN/NSNMP-0.5.tar.gz)
Module    NSNMP::Mapper          (KRAGEN/NSNMP-0.5.tar.gz)
Module    NSNMP::Simple          (KRAGEN/NSNMP-0.5.tar.gz)

Module    Net::SNMP              (DTOWN/Net-SNMP-v6.0.1.tar.gz)
and a whole bunch of others

Module    NetSNMP::ASN           (HARDAKER/NetSNMP-ASN-5.0401.tar.gz)
Module    NetSNMP::OID           (HARDAKER/NetSNMP-OID-5.0401.tar.gz)
Module    NetSNMP::TrapReceiver  (HARDAKER/NetSNMP-TrapReceiver-5.0401.tar.gz)
Module    NetSNMP::agent         (HARDAKER/NetSNMP-agent-5.0401.tar.gz)

Module    SNMP                   (HARDAKER/SNMP-5.0401.tar.gz)
and a whole lot of submodules by many different people.
-----------------

Quite confusing indeed. I would greatly appreciate if somebody could write a few lines about it clarifying the issue. This would definitely be handy in a FAQ of some sort.

Thanks for your help!
Chris
