Perl SNMP.pm and text IDs

[Alexander Shikoff]

Hello!

I'm gathering counters from Juniper firewall filters.
JunOS provides instance IDs for such counters as text, for example:
jnxFWCounterByteCount."xe-0-0-3-counter-out"."vlan777-out".counter'

So I just put it in SNMP::VarList and then call SNMP::get().
It works, but the problem is that get() function modifies SNMP::Varbinds
and converts ID textual presentation to dotted.

Before get():
$VAR1 = bless( [
bless( [
'jnxFWCounterByteCount."xe-0-0-3-counter-out"."vlan777-out".counter'
], 'SNMP::Varbind' )
], 'SNMP::VarList' );

After get():
$VAR1 = bless( [
bless( [
'jnxFWCounterByteCount',
'20.120.101.45.48.45.48.45.51.45.99.111.117.110.116.101.114.45.111.117.116.11.118.108.97.110.55.55.55.45.111.117.116.2',
'138745492700486',
'COUNTER64'
], 'SNMP::Varbind' )
], 'SNMP::VarList' );

Is there a way to convert dotted form back to text, or to do not parse it?

Thanks!
