NAME
       NetSNMP::OID - Perl extension for manipulating OIDs

SYNOPSIS
	 use NetSNMP::OID;

	 my $oid = new NetSNMP::OID('sysContact.0');

	 if ($oid < new NetSNMP::OID('ifTable')) {
	     do_something();
	 }

	 my @numarray = $oid->to_array();

	 # appending oids
	 $oid = new NetSNMP::OID('.1.3');
	 $oid += ".6.1";
	 # -> .1.3.6.1

	 # appending index strings

	 $oid2 = $oid + ""wes"";
	 # -> .1.3.6.1.3.119.101.115

	 $oid3 = $oid + "'wes'";
	 # -> .1.3.6.1.119.101.115

	 $len = $oid3->length();
	 # -> 7

	 # retrieving indexes from an oid:
	 $arrayref = $tableoid->get_indexes()

DESCRIPTION
       The NetSNMP::OID module is a simple wrapper around a C-based net-snmp oid (which is an array of unsigned integers).  The OID is internally
       stored as a C array of integers for speed purposes when doing comparisons, etc.

       The standard logical expression operators (<, >, ==, ...) are overloaded such that lexographical comparisons may be done with them.

       The + operator is overloaded to allow you to append stuff on to the end of a OID, like index segments of a table, for example.

   EXPORT
       int snmp_oid_compare(oid1, oid2) int compare(oid1, oid2)
