Manipulating fields with a 'Bits' SYNTAX

Hi,

I am having trouble setting a bit field.  
userIdType is defined as SYNTAX BITS (32 bits, Bit00 to Bit31).

I tried setting $value to:
'1,2,3',
0xFC000000
and tried other ways but I keep getting:
     "wrongValue (The set value is illegal or unsupported in some way)"

Here is how I tried to set:

 my $vars = new SNMP::VarList(["userIdType", $userID, $value, "Bits"]);
 $self->{snmp}->set($vars);

Note: I have no problem setting the value using snmpset.  I passed the value s as comma separated bit positions.

Thanks for the help.
