Given that net-snmp builds bundled Perl modules by default we have now 
two options regarding net-mgmt/p5-SNMP: 1) disable Perl modules builds 
in net-snmp and update p5-SNMP to 5.4.2.1 or 2) leave net-snmp as it is 
and mark p5-SNMP DEPRECATED with comment 'p5-SNMP is built as a part of 
net-mgmt/net-snmp now'. Personally, I'd opt for the latter.

The current version of p5-SNMP (4.2.7.1) depends on net-snmp4 which is 
deprecated with expiration date 2009-07-01 (two weeks ago) so IMO 
there's no need to keep it around either.

What do you think?
