SYNOPSIS

 use FS::agent;

 $record = new FS::agent \%hash;
 $record = new FS::agent { 'column' => 'value' };

 $error = $record->insert;

 $error = $new_record->replace($old_record);

 $error = $record->delete;

 $error = $record->check;

 $agent_type = $record->agent_type;

 $hashref = $record->pkgpart_hashref;
 #may purchase $pkgpart if $hashref->{$pkgpart};

agentnum - primary key (assigned automatically for new agents); agent - Text name of this agent; typenum - Agent type. See FS::agent_type; prog - For future use.; freq - For future use.; disabled - Disabled flag, empty or 'Y'; username - Username for the Agent interface; _password - Password for the Agent interface
