624This module does not generally care about ranges, i.e. it will happily
625de-/encode 64 bit integers into an C<ASN_INTEGER> value, or a negative
626number into an C<SNMP_COUNTER64>.

503much larger than e.g. the one imposed by SNMP or other protocols. 629much larger than e.g. the one imposed by SNMP or other protocols,a nd is
630about 4kB.
631
632Indefinite length encoding is not supported.

634Constructed strings are decoded just fine, but there should be a way to
635join them for convenience.
636
637REAL values are not supported and will currently croak.

639The encoder and decoder tend to accept more formats than should be
640strictly supported.
