SNMP Perl module and binary (un)lovin'

I'm using Net-SNMP version 5.4.1.  I'm trying to implement a perl snmp query
application and I've noticed that for certain OID values are dealt with
differently than the command line.  For instance, the command line produces
this:

snmpget -v 2c -c <comm string> <ip addresss> 1.3.6.1.2.1.69.1.1.2.0
SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.69.1.1.2.0 = Hex-STRING: 07 D8 05 14 0A 18 31 00

Yet, when getting the same value from the SNMP perl module, I get the
following output (note, probably not going to display properly):

$vbarr = bless( [
                  '.1.3.6.1.2.1.69.1.1.2',
                  '0',
                  'Ø
5',
                  'OCTETSTR'
                ], 'SNMP::Varbind' );

It appears that some magic is happening in the command line to automatically
convert this to a hex string (which is what I want), but I'm unclear on how
to accomplish on the perl side.   I've tried setting the UseSprintValue to
1, various settings for BestGuess, but I still get the same output.  Is what
I'm trying to do possible?  Any guidance would be appreciated.  Thanks.
