I'm creating a perl script on RH 6.2 that will connect to a server and send a username and password. The sever expects the folllowing... <control b> username,password<control c> . The server then sends back confirmation. Well i'm having trouble sending the keyboard equivalent of <crtl B> and <crtl c>. I've tried $var = chr(02) ... send SOCKET, 0, 0, $var. But it doesn't work. Now the catch is that when I use Hyperterminal on my Win box and I hit <control b> username,password<control c> , <control b> is a smiley face and <control c> is a heart, and I log on fine. Perl's $var = chr(02) seems to produce ^B. How can I get my perl script to send the heart and smiley face? Or better yet, what the heck is goin' on? Thanks. Vic
