Two possibilities - but first, did you type the asterisk before install?
Anyway, did cpan *say* that it had successfully installed? I've had things
fail, and have to go into .cpan/Build/<path>, and make;make install. The
other possibility is that for some reason, it's not where it needed to be,
and you might try yum install Net-SNMP
