Cool (and useful) one-liner, replacing man ascii!

I added it to my ~/.bash/functions, with a few changes replace the quote chracters so it would be acceptable to bash. Also, added a newline for every 8 characters.

function ascii
{
    perl -e '
        map {
            printf q{%3d %2X %2s|%s}, $_, $_,
                $_<32 ? q{^}.chr($_+64) : $_<127 ? chr : q{^?},
                ($_+1)%8 ? q{} : $/
        } 0..127
    '
}

PS: I tried making it a bash alias, but it was too much trouble working around all those quotes to prevent bash interpolating $_ etc!
