Handling "BITS" data types in SNMP.xs

Does the Net-SNMP perl wrapper handle data of type "BITS" correctly?

Looking at the code in SNMP.xs __add_var_val_str function (V 5.2.2), it
seems the BITS data type is handled as a character string.  If for
example, I set the field to" 'FC000000', SNMP.xs sends an 8 byte
character string to the agent.

snmp_api.c on the other hand, handles it correctly.
