    send assumes its argument is a string. 0x02 is 2, and as a string equals "2".

    I like your approach and I think this is what you meant:

    $MySocket->send("\x02");

    This seems the most straightforward to me. I have a personal preference of hex over octal.

    Update: Oops. At first I only saw JavaFan's pack approach in the reply below this. Be he already covered this approach too. Sorry for duplicates.
