in reply to perl pack function


The string is being converted to UTF8.

Since you are on Red Hat it is probably due to your $LANG environmental variable being set to a UTF8 dialect, which perl then picks up.

    Yes, LANG is set to en_US.UTF-8

    But I just tried your binmode suggestion on socket S and it seems to work!

    Thanks a lot!
