CALLING ALL PROGRAMMERS! i'm trying to find a programmer FAST to help launch a fun, clever millennium-oriented web site. he or she needs to know javascipt and CGI (pearl most probably.) 2000 is almost here so the person must be able to work quickly and hopefully start this week. the programming itself should be fairly simple. might only take an hour or two or three. we aren't silicon valley yuppies making big money yet, so unfortunately this isn't a paying gig, but if the site takes off, there could very well be something down the road. this would also be a good way for an interested programmer to develop a creative relationship with us that could very easily lead to new, exciting paying $$ ventures down the road. we are currently a graphic artist and an html conceptual artist. DOING US THIS FAVOR WILL BE SOMEHOW BE REWARDED! if you're curious...drop me a line...ASAP! howard kirk besserman howhuman web designs howhuman@prodigy.n et thanks for any help you can give me in getting the above posted, jay. if you've got any ideas i welcome them too! yours truly, howard kirk besserman -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[snip] The easiest answer is indeed the pack function. Perl has explicit conversion between numeric and string types, such that any number is equivalent to its string representation (sorta). Here's a simple snippet of code that does what you want: for (0x1 .. 0xff) { # Same as 1 .. 255, just clearer for this purpose print( pack( "c", $_ ) ); } And, of course, the Perl motto is TMTOWTDI, so: for $i (0x1 .. 0xff) { printf("%c", $i); } (It's pretty much the same printf() as C has. In fact, until very recently Perl just used the printf provided in C on that system. Perl now uses its own printf because differences between printf on different systems were causing compatibility problems for some code. -- Eric Eisenhart Freedom is slavery. http://eric.eisenhart.com/ ^ ICQ#: 48217244 Ignorance is strength. eric-dot-sig@eisenhart.com /e\ Perl&SQL Coder War is peace.

Tuesday, November 30th, at 7:30pm, will be the next Perl Mongers Meeting. As usual it will be at O'Reilly and Associaties, in the 103 building (middle building, back entrance). You can find directions at: http://www.oreilly.com/oreilly/seb_directions.html Tim Allwine will give a talk on using LWP. Most of the examples you see show how to get other URL's off of a retrieved page, or how to make a recursive spider. Tim's presentation will concentrate on dynamic interaction with the web page that you get, i.e. parsing pages for content and filling out forms. Tim is a programmer for IX Labs, a web development company in Santa Rosa. You can read about IX Labs on the O'Reilly's web site: http://perl.oreilly.com/news/perlss_1099.html Should be a great talk.
