It's not immediately obvious what the origin of this message is from the Net::SNMP source, normally I wouldn't expect EPERM from simply try to create a UDP socket, but as you don't say what your OS is I can't be sure. You might want to get more diagnostic information by adding `-debug => 0x04,` to the arguments to `session()`. Also can you confirm whether the program works properly from the command line or not. /J\	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`/usr/bin/perl` implies some sort of Unix. You are trying to listen to port number 161. On most unices, only the `root` user is allowed to open ports lower than 1024. You need to be `root` or use a different port. (Note that running CGI programs as root is not a GoodIdea(tm). The intelligent reader will judge for himself.
