One simple example can be worth a thousand words. 
#!/usr/bin/perl
$text_a = "\xca\xc0\xbd\xe7\xc3\xb3\xd2\xd7\xd7\xe9\xd6\xaf\x0a";
print $text_a;

$text_b = "cac0bde7c3b3d2d7d7e9d6af0a";
print $text_b,"\n";


$text_c = pack "H*", $text_b;
print $text_c;
# and to convert back:
$text_d = unpack "H*", $text_c;
print $text_d,"\n";

  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
