I'm not quite clear about your question, but I figure that you are probably only really interested in the return value of the SNMP query. That is, everything after the equals sign (=).

In which case, I'd just do a split like so: 

my $snmp_return = "SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.54321.1.2.1 = INTEGER: 2082
+447";
my (undef, $wanted) = split /=/, $snmp_return;

Does that help?

Update: Probably worth noting that the above approach would break if the data returned actually contained an equals sign, because $wanted would only contain everything between the first and second "=". However, you could overcome this by modifying the split to include a limit - like so: 

my (undef, $wanted) = split /=/, $snmp_return, 2;
