Would you be willing to post the code that Cisco provided?   I'd sure be interested in seeing their solution.

By the way, SNMP::BridgeQuery might be of interest.
From the README:

BridgeQuery polls a device which respond to SNMP Bridge Table queries and generates a hash reference with each polled MAC address as the key and the associated port as the value. The specific MIBs that are polled are described in RFC1493.

SNMP::BridgeQuery requires Net::SNMP in order to function.

Devices can be switches, bridges, or most anything that responds as a OSI Layer 2 component. Layer 3 devices do not generally respond and will cause an error. If an error is generated, it will return a hash reference with a single element ('error') which can be tested for.

I've not yet used this module, so have no code to offer.

Update: 2001-09-27
The OID you want is dot1dTpFdbAddress numeric 1.3.6.1.2.1.17.4.3.1
example snmpwalk syntax:
snmpwalk cat5000a public@1003 .1.3.6.1.2.1.17.4.3.1

Note the "@vlan#" following the ROcommunitystring, and the numeric OID's leading "."
