This is one of my favorite things about this site. How awesome is it that the guy that wrote the book, can explain things for you. Hats off to you merlyn. Thanks for continuing to be a part of the monastery.

my $a='62696c6c77667269656e6440676d61696c2e636f6d';
while ($a=~m/(^.{2})/s)
{print unpack('A',pack('H*',"$1"));$a=~s/^.{2}//s;}
