Re: send ascii character in telnet.pm

It is conventional to describe control characters in uppercase, e.g. 'CTRL-D', also because the shift to the control character set is achieved by unsetting the seventh bit, e.g.:

print Control("G"); # ring my bell
sub Control {
    return chr( ord( uc( shift() ) ) - 64 );
}

A simpler option is to use the `\c` token: `print "\cG"; # ring bell print "\cD"; # send EOF marker` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
