Converting to a hex value is pretty easy: 
perl -e '$_ = q(^%@|CaD5H); s/([^\w-])/sprintf qq(%lx), ord($1)/eg; pr
+int'

Doing the reverse will be a lot more tricky, unless you add a character to the start of each hex replacement to mark it out as such.

    Well if you need to be able to reverse it, why not just convert the whole dang string to hex (like a really conservative version of uuencode), provided the filename won't get too long.
