That does not work.

I do:
   $hs = "0000000000020000";
   $vb = new SNMP::Varbind([$oid, $oid, $hs, 'OCTETSTR']);
   $ses->set($vb);

And get error:
   wrongLength (The set value has an illegal length from what the
agent expects)

The same error is printed if I issue `snmpset' with 's' instead of 'x':
   $ snmpset -v2c -c private 10.102.100.100
1.3.6.1.2.1.17.7.1.4.3.1.2.71 s 0000000000020000
   Error in packet.
   Reason: wrongLength (The set value has an illegal length from what
the agent expects)
   Failed object: SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.17.7.1.4.3.1.2.71

When I use 'x', everything is fine:
   $ snmpset -v2c -c private 10.102.100.100
1.3.6.1.2.1.17.7.1.4.3.1.2.71 x 0000000000020000
   SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.17.7.1.4.3.1.2.71 = Hex-STRING: 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 00

Thanks.
