Hi Monks,

Greetings. Just wonder, if Perl has any functions/packages to encode/decode strings. I have string,

• Encode the string to Hex (something similar to toHexString() ). -> For this i tried xxd -r -p


• convert fromHexString -> not sure what to use...


• Create a SHA1 hash for a string - for this i tried openssl sha1 -binary


• convert a string to ToBase64String -> i have tried  openssl base64


• Convert a string to AES-128-ECB encode , with some key -> for this i tried  openssl -enc aec-128-ecb -nosalt -k KEY

Your suggetions/pointers are greatly helpful.

Thanks.
