in reply to Terminal Client

Use the hex or oct built-in functions...

On a separate note, if you are connecting to a telnet daemon, you should probably use Net::Telnet

    That would only help if you run hex() and oct() on the receiving end: 
       $ perl -wE 'print hex "02"' | od -a
   0000000   2
   0000001
   $

    What the OP probably wants is pack: 
       $ perl -wE 'print pack "H*", "02"' | od -a
   0000000 stx
   0000001

    But I advice him to use Net::Telnet.
