Hello Guys

maybe it is impossible or at least i have no clue how to solve this myself :)

I am trying to load a config file in yaml style (which works). However in the yaml file are some constants which i want to get "translated" by Net::SNMP.

I tried it with an has before which worked a treat 

my $snmpConf = (
'.1.3.6.1.4.1.1918.2.13.10.30.80.1.110.2'   =>  { type => INTEGER     
+    , 'value' => '1' }, 
);

This is the line in the yaml file 

.1.3.6.1.4.1.1918.2.13.10.30.80.1.110.2:
  type: INTEGER
  value: "1"

Reading the values via the oid by snmpget is no problem at all.

However afaik Net::SNMP translates the bareword INTEGER into an integer value... right?
But when i now want to set an variable via snmp it needs to know the type and then it seems like it doesn't get translated to the value anymore.

foreach $oid ( keys $snmpConf) {
$snmp_session->set_request (-varbindlist => [$oid, $snmpConf->{$oid}{t
+ype}, $snmpConf->{$oid}{value}]);
....

Results in
ERROR: The ASN.1 type "OCTET_STRING" is unknown

So my question is, how can i, if at all, treat $snmpConf->{$oid}{type} like an Constant so it gets translated to the integer value?
