snmptrapd -H: no "perl"?

-Coders,

is there a good reason why "snmptrapd -H" (unlike "snmpd -H") does *not* list
"perl" as a supported option even when --enable-embedded-perl was configured and
is *working*, i.e. "perl" *is* recognized in snmptrapd.conf?

foo# /bc/net-snmp-5.2cvs/sbin/snmptrapd -H 2>&1 | grep perl
foo# SNMPCONFPATH=/tmp/net-snmp /bc/net-snmp-5.2cvs/sbin/snmptrapd -f -Lo
-Dread_config | grep perl
read_config: /tmp/net-snmp/snmptrapd.conf:1 examining: perl do
"/bc/bin/trapreceiver.pl";
read_config: /tmp/net-snmp/snmptrapd.conf:1 examining: perl do
"/bc/bin/trapreceiver.pl";
read_config: Found a parser. Calling it: perl / do "/bc/bin/trapreceiver.pl";
foo# cat /tmp/net-snmp/snmptrapd.conf
perl do "/bc/bin/trapreceiver.pl";
foo# /bc/net-snmp-5.2cvs/sbin/snmpd -H 2>&1 | grep perl
perl PERLCODE
perlInitFile string

This is with 5.2.x (CVS). Even worse, in 5.3 (CVS) "snmptrapd -H" crashes for
me, but that's the next thread.
