A perl program needs to send binary data to an external device such that 0xff looks like 11111111
I have a line in the program as follows: my $txstart = pack("h*","fefe5a95"); Are those 4 bytes usable as the binary data fe fe 5a 95? Is there a good way when running perl -d to view the contents of the string to make sure it is what it should be? Thank you.
