in thread SNMP String format

the SNMP (or Net::SNMP) module will take care of that for you. at least it does for me.

$res = $sess->set_request(-varbindlist => [
         '1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.9.1.2.1.1.4.34603010', OCTET_STRING, "b
+lahfoo",
         ]);

    Yes, but mugster has: 
    use SNMP_Session; 
use BER;

    I dont't see any reference to SNMP or Net::SNMP. I think these modules must behave differently than Net::SNMP. BER probably has the encode functions that do the BER encoding.

    then this:

    ($type eq 'string') && do {
                        $value = encode_string($value);
                        push @enoid, [$oid,$value];
                        next;
                };

    should probably be this:

    ($type eq 'string') && do {
                        $value = encode_string(
                           pack "C*" map {hex} split /\s/, $value
                        );
                        push @enoid, [$oid,$value];
                        next;
                };

    because you likely want to encode "\xAA\xBB\xCC\xDD" and not "AA BB CC DD".
