Note that tr/// supports ranges, so this works too: tr|\0-9|A-Za-z|

(IIRC this might not work on systems that aren't ASCII based; perlebcdic)

Update: You said "the first 52 bytes of a character map", but \0-9 is the first 58 bytes. So maybe you want to do tr/\0-3/A-Za-z/? Or only the nonprintable characters with tr/\0-\x1F/A-Za-f/?

Update 2: WebPerl live demo of the following:

use warnings;
use strict;

print join("   ","  ",map {sprintf "%X.",$_} 0..7), "\n";
for my $l (0..15) {
    printf ".%X", $l;
    for my $c ( map { chr( $l|($_<<4) ) } 0..7 ) {
        #$c =~ tr/\0-9/A-Za-z/;   # doesn't work correctly!
        #$c =~ tr/\0-3/A-Za-z/;   # option 1
        $c =~ tr/\0-\x1F/A-Za-f/; # option 2
        print "   $c ";
    }
    print "\n";
}

__END__
