I have resolved this issue through normal way :
./configure
make
sudo make install I then typed snmpget --version
and i got reply "NET-SNMP version: 5.7.3"
primarily the issue was resolved with the workaround by manually creating the symlink with ln -s /usr/lib/libperl.so.5.22 /usr/lib/libperl.so and it links correctly.
please read below link which was helpful :
Thanks everyone for the effort
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lperl
This is the linker, complaining that it can't find perl libraries.
To install the perl libraries, run sudo apt install libperl-devel.
But as you do not have internet connectivity, this is probably not possible. You can download the package from here, but it must match other installed perl packages - which in a offline system requires some tracking down.
You write that you have the machine in a DMZ. You should configure some way for the machine to reach internet, to get updates and install software. This can be via an apt proxy, which will behave like a local mirror, without the overhead to mirror all packages that you don't need.
Running machines without access to updates is considered a security risk - and as you've discovered, makes installing software more difficult.
