You must be running SuSE Linux 6.3 or older, than. You can find a package
for SuSE Linux 6.4 here:

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/6.4/suse/d1/perl_net.rpm

It should work on older SuSE Linux Versions, too. Otherwise you could
install the Perl modules libnet and Net-SNMP manually from CPAN.

Salt :)
