Make secret codes for you and your friends with this one-of-a-kind tool! JK, it's my version of a secret language which I use to talk with some of my geeky friends with, the script encodes and decodes text and ascii.
#!/usr/bin/perl

use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser';
use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI;

my $message = param('message'); 
my $choice =  param('choice');

  use CGI qw/:standard/;
if ($choice eq "") {
  print header,
        start_html('Secret Encoder');
        print start_form(), table( 
        
        Tr(td(radio_group(-name=>'choice',
                 -values=>['encode','decode'])) ),
        Tr(td(textarea(-name=>'message',
                 -override=>1,
                 -rows=>5,
                 -columns=>40)) ),
        Tr(td(submit)),
        
        end_form(),
        hr(),
        );
}        
elsif ($choice eq "encode") {
my @character_code = join ' ', unpack("C*", "$message");
  print header,
        start_html('Secret Encoder');
        print start_form(), table(
