Hey, I built an snmptrap module however now I would like to be able to override the originating trap source before I send the trap since some devices I'm monitoring are through a host server. Therefore by default the trap will generate as if the error was on the host server as opposed to the actual device. 
   my $session = Net::SNMP->session(
        -community => $cfg->{input}->{'community'},
        -hostname  => $cfg->{input}->{'trapdest'},
        -port      => SNMP_TRAP_PORT,
    );
    
    my $result=$session->trap(
        -enterprise   => $enterprise,
        -specifictrap => $specific,
....

read up and the only thing that appears like I can do is add a: 

 - localaddr => $nodeIwant,

to my session or trap definition. Is that right or is that only for redefining the return source if you send a get instead of trap? hmmm actually localaddr is set at object creation.. I think I need to use: 
-agentaddr       => $ipaddress,

[download]
for the trap() function. but can I only set IP address or hostname.
