Re^62: Interleaving bytes in a string quickly

I am referring to an ordered collection of 8 bits.

No you weren't. How can an ordered collection of 8-bits be "just stored differently"?

$_ = "\x80\x81";    # Value is bytes 80 81
utf8::upgrade($_);  # Value is still bytes 80 81,
                    #    just stored differently.

Bits 1-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-1-0-0-0-0-0-0-1. How many examples do you want? Here are three for the first byte: `$byte = 0x80; $byte = "\x80"; @byte = (1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0);` [download] (They respectively take 16, 36 and 128 bytes to store that one byte.)	[reply] [d/l]
