Well, your $octets only has 7 bytes in it, so it wouldn't pass the specs of "either 8 or 11 octets". Fiddling with it a bit suggests you dropped a "07" from the start:
# you presented the octets as a string of hex numbers.
# I'll do the same, then strip out the spaces, and pack
# it into binary format
$octets = "07 D8 06 01 01 27 3B 00";
$octets =~ s/ //g;
$octets = pack "H*", $octets;
# now $octets is in a form as you would get back from snmp,
# so we unpack with the template I gave earlier:
@date = unpack 'n C6 a C2', $octets;
# and print
$datetime = sprintf "%04d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d:%02d", @date;
print $datetime;
This prints: "2008-06-01 01:39:59".

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
