You generate the output file yourself, so I'd make sure to only write 32bytes per line — while simultaneously avoiding writing the two mystery bytes — and just read them back in that way. no?

while(<$input>) {
    chomp;
    my $var = pack("H*", $_);
    die "holy smokes, my hex-dump file is bad" unless length $var == 3
+2;
}

Analysing hex dump, was good idea. It simplified lot of things. I took, unload of encrypted data in an file. And then from byte patterns and using simple read() and seek(), i was able to extract the actual encrypted data bytes as i intended to do. Thank you for your inputs :) . have a nice day	[reply]
