Another way, using fixed-length I/O (and also avoiding use of a regex to step through the string byte-by-byte): 

>perl -wMstrict -le
"{ local $/ = \10;
   my $fname = 'junk';
   open my $fh, '<:raw', $fname or die qq{opening '$fname': $!};
   while (defined(my $buffer = <$fh>)) {
     printf '%02x ', ord substr $buffer, $_, 1
       for 0 .. length($buffer) - 1;
     print '';
     }
   close $fh;
 }

Update: BTW: The test file was created with
    perl -e "print 'a' .. 'z', qq{\n}" > junk
