in reply to ASCII Conversion

Well, check `perldoc -f unpack` and see `perldoc -f pack` for the template-characters. You might also want to see what ord does (`perldoc -f ord`).

Where exactly is your problem?

    I am a newbie's newby. I am taking an on-line course through a local university in AZ. My problem is that the book we are using for a textbook does not explain anything like what the instructor is asking for, and he doesn't answer his emails. He even gives references which do not even have anything to do with the question. So I am looking for an answer. There is more to the problem than what I am asking, but I can get the rest if I can figure out how to use unpack to come up with the ASCII values for the printable characters. Oh Yeah, when I do a perldocs -f unpack I get an error both on my Windows system and my UNIX (Solaris) system. Bob

      try perldoc -f unpack instead of perldocs -f unpack
      note there is no s in perldoc
      Update: Oh, I forgot, you can also go to unpack and get the same information.
