NAME
    AnyEvent::SNMP - adaptor to integrate Net::SNMP into Anyevent.

SYNOPSIS
     use AnyEvent::SNMP;
     use Net::SNMP;

     # just use Net::SNMP and AnyEvent as you like:

     # use a condvar to transfer results, this is
     # just an example, you can use a naked callback as well.
     my $cv = AnyEvent->condvar;

     # ... start non-blocking snmp request(s)...
     Net::SNMP->session (-hostname => "127.0.0.1",
                         -community => "public",
                         -nonblocking => 1)
              ->get_request (-callback => sub { $cv->send (@_) });

     # ... do something else until the result is required
     my @result = $cv->wait;

DESCRIPTION
    This module implements an alternative "event dispatcher" for Net::SNMP,
    using AnyEvent as a backend.

    This integrates Net::SNMP into AnyEvent: You can make non-blocking
    Net::SNMP calls and as long as other parts of your program also use
    AnyEvent (or some event loop supported by AnyEvent), they will run in
    parallel.

    Also, the Net::SNMP scheduler is very inefficient with respect to both
    CPU and memory usage. Most AnyEvent backends (including the pure-perl
    backend) fare much better than the Net::SNMP dispatcher.

    A potential disadvantage is that replacing the dispatcher is not at all
    a documented thing to do, so future changes in Net::SNP might break this
    module (or the many similar ones).

    This module does not export anything and does not require you to do
    anything special apart from loading it *before doing any non-blocking
    requests with Net::SNMP*. It is recommended but not required to load
    this module before "Net::SNMP".
