What would make life easier would be to use pack as in pack("c",$asci_number) but where the asci_number takes the full 65k range Basically is there a pack template for two byte unicode characters?

This may solve Paul's unicode problem? Be aware that the following link points to a release candidate not an offical release. http://www.activestate.com/cgibin/ActivePerl/download.pl Does this mean that "core" perl will support unicode and other great features? ...I've just donwloaded the latest developer release of Perl (Version v5.5.670 Development release working toward v5.6) and looked at the perlfunc docs and there it is: U A Unicode character number.
