How do you get it into Binary in the first place? I'm not very good w/pack, I just know a couple of canned uses. Know of any cool primers out there?

    You just unpack the ascii for that. 
    perl -e'print unpack("B*","Perl Rocks!"),"\n"'

    Will do the trick. See the Library, in the the perl funtion manual it lists the other convertions pack and unpack can do. For long messages, hex is often a better choice.
