Log Message:
Update to 4.0.0

  - The module has been completely redesigned to add support for SNMPv3
    and to follow the SNMP Management Framework defined by RFC 2571.
  - Perl version 5.6.0 or greater is now required to use the module.
  - Updated the method calls to expect the same argument syntax regardless
    of whether they are invoked by "blocking" or "non-blocking" objects.
  - The non-core modules Crypt::DES, Digest::MD5, Digest::SHA1, and
    Digest::HMAC are now required to support SNMPv3.
  - Added the ability to specify the local address and port number used by
    each object.
  - Corrected an error in the Net::SNMP::FSM module that would cause all
    response messages to be dropped in "non-blocking" mode if there is
    a recv() error.
  - Updated the logic in the "blocking" response handling method such
    the transmit buffer is properly updated if there is a decode
    error while parsing the GetResponse-PDU.
  - Counter, Guages, and TimeTick values that are incorrectly encoded as
    negative signed integers are now converted to unsigned values.  This
    feature can be disabled by setting the "-unsigned" flag to false
    using the translate() method.
  - An empty community name is now allowed.
  - Updated the "non-blocking" example script.
