Hi
One of the varbind of snmptrap carrying date and time in Octet String. When i am trying to ocnvert it into string i got value that is not macthing the data and time. "DateAndTime (Octet String) (SIZE(8|11))"

Here is my code

$octets="D8 06 01 01 27 3B 00 ";

@date = unpack 'n C6 a C2', $octets;

$datetime = sprintf "%04d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d:%02d", @date; # no time zone

print $datetime

$datetime = sprintf "%04d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d:%02d.%d%s%02d:%02d", @date; # with tz info
