I am absolutely positive that I have seen this in books as a typical user syntax issue, but I just sold my Cozens book so, I have to turn to the monastery.

My code, is pretty basic

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

## module calls
use strict;
use Net::SNMP;
  ## start snmp session
  my $s = Net::SNMP->session( -hostname  => "10.6.21.10",
                                -community => "private" );
  
  ## run the get
  my $ios_version = $s->get_request(".1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0");

  my $error = $s->error;

  ## close the snmp session
  $s->close;

  ## print results
  print "$error\n$ios_version\n\n";

however the output of $ios_version ends up being

HASH(0x811fb50)

i am sure that i have seen this error before, and i had thought it had something to do with trying to represent a hash value as a scalar or vice versa. however, making $ios_version into @ios_version still provides the same output. can someone beat this into my head one more time so it stays?
