in reply to Dumping bit vector in perl

Depending upon architecture and the bitvector, 'B*' might be more useful: 

main::(-e:1):   1
  DB<1> x unpack 'b*', 'pqrs';;
0  00001110100011100100111011001110

    Thanks, In the mean time I tried using, Bit::Vector::to_Bin it also works.

      You can also save yourself a lot of typing by setting it up as an alias: 

        DB<5> =xb x unpack 'b*',
xb      = x unpack 'b*',
  DB<6> $_ = 'pqrs'

  DB<7> xb $_
0  00001110100011100100111011001110
  DB<8> $/ = '1234356577890'

  DB<9> xb $/
0  1000110001001100110011000010110011001100101011000110110010101100111
+0110011101100000111001001110000001100

      Be nice if you could put a list of aliases somewhere that would cause them to be loaded each time the debugger is started. I know there is a "db profile", but I can't remember any specifics. It must be in teh docs somewhere?
