This is just a piece of code to explain at a high level. So,

1) I can't just send the data in string and cannot assign it the $DATA_to_be_SENT = $_ ; as $_ returns a string which in my case would be "-2.3,-4.5,901,223,34.098"

2) My Receiving end is a hardware which can only work on Floating numbers and all these five numbers should be sent within ONE Packet in the same order.

3) I noticed that I can do something like this for hexadecimal numbers 

   $socket->send("\x-2.3,\x-4.5,\x901,\x223,\x34.098");

If I try to use "\d-2.3,\d-4.5,\d901,\d223,\d34.098" and observe the network in wireshark , I am seeing the letter d along with the values.

So I believe you got a better insight of what i am trying to ask.
