I am trying to use net::snmp to send a request to a cisco router to have the device tftp is current running config to a remote tftpserver.
I am familiar with the command set for snmpset, and specifically for this use. It is as follows:

snmpset  <router>  <RW Community String>  .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.55.<tftp 
+server ip> string <filename>

[download]

However, the net::snmp syntax is throwing me a bit. I am not quite certain where to stuff all of the apparent info that snmpset seems to require.

  $where = "10.6.21.100 string $tftpfile";
  @param = qw($oid SET_REQUEST $where);
  ($session, $error) = Net::SNMP->session( -hostname  => $router
                                           -community => $community
                                         );      
  my $response = $session->set_request(@param);

My questions is concerning the @param list. The net::snmp doc shows:

$response = $session->set_request(@oid_type_value);

the oid, i have, but the ASN.1 value for the type field, I am not too clear on, nor the value that I will be sending. I want to say that the "value" field corresponds to the:

<tftp server ip> string <filename>

[download]

portion of the snmpset command, however I am not sure how to stuff all of that into a single list value. Plus, near the end of the net::snmp doc, it lists the acceptable "types". I see SET_REQUEST among the EXPORTABLE list, but I am not sure if this is what I want to use or whether or not its ready to use without additional configuration. Your help is appreciated.
