It's not immediately obvious what the origin of this message is from the Net::SNMP source, normally I wouldn't expect EPERM from simply try to create a UDP socket, but as you don't say what your OS is I can't be sure. You might want to get more diagnostic information by adding `-debug => 0x04,` to the arguments to `session()`. Also can you confirm whether the program works properly from the command line or not. /J\	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`/usr/bin/perl` implies some sort of Unix. You are trying to listen to port number 161. On most unices, only the `root` user is allowed to open ports lower than 1024. You need to be `root` or use a different port. (Note that running CGI programs as root is not a GoodIdea(tm). The intelligent reader will judge for himself. Without examining the facts fully and fairly, there is no way of knowing whether vox populi is really vox dei, or merely vox asinorum. — Cyrus H. Gordon	[reply] [d/l] [select]
