/etc/edgeware-subagent.pl IS the subagent. I think the "perl do" thing was
an attempt to trigger the starting of the subagent from within the running
of the agent via the the snmpd.conf file; but now we trigger snmpd and
edgeware-subagent.pl in sequence, each explicitly in the Linux startup
script. The latter worked for net-snmp 5.2.1 ; I'm not sure the "perl do"
ever worked (it was before my time). I tried it again using underscore in
place of dash, and it still said Bareword and did not start the subagent
(according to ps ax). Starting the subagent by hand gave same results as
before.

Where is the code by which the agent is supposed to learn about the
subagent's subtree? All I see is "$agent->register" called by the subagent.
It seems to relate to "sub new" in perl/agent/agent.pm but I can't trace it
any farther; somewhere in the codebase surely it must trigger a
communication, presumably across the socket "master", to tell the agent it
exists?
