I think this just means it simply can't find the Net::SNMP perl
module.  You probably need to install the relevant package.  I'm not
familiar with Centos or RHEL, but expect you will find the information
you need in http://felipeferreira.net/?p=660

There is also a FAQ which refers to this problem at:

 http://nagios.manubulon.com/faq.html#FAQ1

Personally I prefer to install perl modules using my distro's package
manger than via CPAN though.  This is because I don't know much about
perl!

hth,
