Handling bits in Perlby LittleGreyCat (Scribe) |

LittleGreyCat has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Gracious Monks, if one had to handle data that was bit significant rather than byte significant, (and couldn't do it in 'C') what would be the best Perl tools to use? The potential application is decoding and encoding bit significant data to/from a low bandwidth device which can't afford the luxury of the spare bits that come with byte orientated operations. Many thanks Dave R
