Sockets and Hex?

[devilpanther]

I want to send over a socket non-readable chars, for example: 0x01

So I treid to do the next:

print $sock 0x01;

But it's not working right, the char being sent is not the one I want... it's just random junk at best.

Is there a special way to send hex values over sockets?

I'm not certain, but you might want to take a look at pack and unpack.

pack and unpack are where it's at, unless you feel like hand rolling all your own data - I'd be looking at pack/unpack ;-)

Spend an hour a week on CPAN, helps cure all known programming ailments ;-)

You were right, pack did the trick:

$char = pack('c', 0x22);

Thanks.
