This is running as a win32 service so I hade to output the print to a log file, this is what the code looked like...

    (my $hex_user=$user)=~s/(.)/sprintf("%02x",ord($1))/egs;
     &Update_Log("User: '$user' = '$hex_user'\n");

This is what I got...

14:46:07 - User: 'sriley
' = '7372696c65790d'

hmmmm ... there is a little square after sriley that seems to translate to a lot of spaces..? in this node. The return should all appear on 1 line..

Something like 14:46:07 - User: 'sriley^'= '7372696c65790d' the ^ is where that square is...
