I am writing a script that will check date/time on a network device. I am using Net::SNMP module to walk the OID for the current time on the device and then will compare it against current time on a server..However, whenever i walk the switch for the time, the return value comes back as 1 instead of the actual value. I can manually walk the switch, or use system call to invoke snmpwalk, but since i need to do this on a couple of thousand of devices i am really trying to stick with SNMP module. Any ideas of what i am doing wrong?

# /usr/bin/perl    

use warnings;
use strict;
use Net::SNMP;
use Data::Dumper;

my $oid= '1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.1.1';
   
my $host="host1.testdoman.com";
my $community='test';


my ($session, $error) = Net::SNMP->session(
     -hostname    => $host,
     -community   =>$community,
     -nonblocking => 1,
);
   

my $result = $session->get_request(-varbindlist => [ $oid ],);


if (!defined $result) {
    $error = $session->error();
    print "GET_REQUEST ERROR: $error\n";
    $session->close();
    exit(1);
}

print Dumper $result;


$session->close;
exit(0);

Just to illustrate what output i am expecting. The following code invokes snmpwalk utility and produces the desired output:

# /usr/bin/perl    

use warnings;
use strict;

my $community='test';
my $host= "host1.testdoman.com";


my $Time = `snmpwalk -v1 -c $community  $host 1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1
+.1.1`;


print $Time;

SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.1588.2.1.1.1.1.1.0 = STRING: "Fri Oct 25 07:23:33 2013 "

However, when i try to use the Net:SNMP module it produces output $VAR1 = 1;

Any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks in advance
