Thanks Muskrat and zby you helped steer me into the light. I have one more question and I think that this will make my script very large. Below is the script so far and it looks but it will not 'walk' the MIB table it only gets the first responce and then stops. I would have thought that the get_next_request would have built into it a way to keep going until the last entry of the MIB table.
What i am basically looking for is what is the best looping mechanism for this purpose? 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Net::SNMP;
use Data::Dumper;
my $snmp = Net::SNMP->session(
                                -hostname               => '192.3.3.1'
+,
                                -community              => 'public',
                                -port                   => '161',
);
my @oid;
$oid[0]='.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.2';
my @vars = $snmp->get_next_request(
                                -varbindlist => \@oid,
);
my $error = $snmp->error;
$snmp->close;
print Dumper(\@vars);
print Dumper(\@oid);
print "the OID array is\n";
print "@oid\n";
print "The Error??\n";
print "$error\n";
