in reply to Net::SNMP not retreiving Hex-STRING correctly

Instead of doing an snmpwalk have you tried a get_request?
$response_href = $session->get_request( $sysContact, $sysDescr, $sysLo +cation, $sysObjectID, $localDomain, $localHostname );
You might also want to use Data::Dumper to output the results:
use Data::Dumper; print Data::Dumper->Dump([$response_href],['response hash']);
