Guys

I'm trying to retrieve the local state of the dhcp server using the above module.
however, I can't get it to work using he below code

#! /usr/bin/perl

use Net::ISC::DHCPd::OMAPI;

    my $omapi = Net::ISC::DHCPd::OMAPI->new( key => 'omkey ' . 'xxxxxx
+' );
    $omapi->connect or die "Could not connect to server: ".$omapi->err
+str."\n";

# as per cpan page
#    my $failover = $omapi->new_object("failover",(name => 'st1_dhcpb'
+));

# omapi cpan page
#    my $failover = $omapi->new_object(failover=>(name => 'st1_dhcpb',
+));

# as per POD
#   my %failover_hash = ( 'name' => 'st1_dhcpb');
#    my $failover = $omapi->new_object("failover" => %failover_hash);

# as per github example
    my $failover = $omapi->new_object('failover') or
                    die "Could not create failover: ".$omapi->errstr."
+\n";

    $failover->name('st1_dhcpb');

# Try to get info (equiv to cli 'open' cmd)
    $failover->read  or die "Could not read failover: ".$omapi->errstr
+."\n";

As you can see, I've tried various methods.

Setting debug on (DHCP_OMAPI_DEBUG=1) at the shell level gives 

$ port 7911
$ server 127.0.0.1
$ key omkey xxxxxx
$ connect
obj: <null>
$ new failover
obj: failover
$ open
can't open object: not found
obj: failover
$ close
obj: <null>
Could not read failover:

Using omshell interactively 
 omshell
> server localhost
> port 7911
> key omkey "xxxxxx"
> connect
obj: <null>
> new failover-state
obj: failover-state
> set name = "st1_dhcpb"
obj: failover-state
name = "st1_dhcpb"
> open
obj: failover-state
name = "st1_dhcpb"
partner-address = 00:00:71:02:00:00:00:00
.
.
.
partner-state = 00:00:00:02
local-state = 00:00:00:02
.

works fine as you can see.
Has anybody got this to work?
