Dear Perl Monks, I am using Perl for a trap reciever/monitor in SNMP but the code only runs once and then gives an error: Creating Socket Unknown Error. The code is as follows; 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use SNMP_Session;
use BER;
use Socket;
$session = SNMPv1_Session->open_trap_session ();

while (($trap, $sender, $sender_port) = $session->receive_trap ())
{
$DATE = localtime(time);
# chomp ($DATE= `/bin/date \'+%a %b %e %T\'` );
    print STDERR "n$DATE - " . inet_ntoa($sender) . " - port: $sender_
+port\n";
    print_trap ($session, $trap);
}

sub print_trap ($$) {
    ($this, $trap) = @_;
    my($community, $ent, $agent, $gen, $spec, $dt, @bindings) 
     = $this->decode_trap_request ($trap);
    print "   Community:\t".$community."\n";
    print "   Enterprise:\t".BER::pretty_oid ($ent)."\n";
    print "   Agent addr:\t".inet_ntoa ($agent)."\n";
    print "   Generic ID:\t$gen\n";
    print "   Specific ID:\t$spec\n";
    print "   Uptime:\t".BER::pretty_uptime_value ($dt)."\n";
    $prefix = "   bindings:\t";
    my ($binding, $oid, $value);
while ($bindings ne ''){
print "binds = ".$bindings.\n;
($binding,$bindings) = &decode_sequence ($bindings);
($oid, $value) = decode_by_template ($binding,"%0%@");
        print $prefix.BER::pretty_oid ($oid)." => ".pretty_print ($val
+ue)."\n";
        $prefix = "\t\t";
    }
}
