Using DateAndTime from Perl SNMP.pm

I’m new to Net-SNMP, and I’m currently writing a Perl traphandler using NetSNMP::TrapReceiver.pm and SNMP.pm on an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS platform. I’ve created a MIB Module definition with a variable that has DateAndTime syntax, and I’ve put it in the right place to be picked up by Net-SNMP. Running snmptrapd -Le -f to get the daemon to spit its diagnostic output to a terminal, and then using snmptrap to inject a test trap message, I can see that the snmp diagnostics pick up both the name and type of my variable - I see "systemStsDateAndTime.0 2014-11-26,12:22:33.4,+1:0” in the output. So I believe I’ve got the low-level stuff right. The problem comes when I try to use my MIB in my /usr/share/snmp/traphandler/traphandler.pl file (which I load through a “do perl” statement in my /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf file). I use SNMP::loadModules to load the MIB file, so my perl script is able to translate the numeric OIDs into labels, and it knows all my variables types, but when I try to load or extract a DateAndTime value nothing is converting the octet string to anything more Perl-like such as a string or a localtime/gmtime value. I’m having to use pack/unpack with a format string of “nC6aC2” to grab the fields as an array, which seems to be a bit low-level. So have I missed something and there’s an easier way of using DateAndTime values than pack/unpack?
