Just for anyone interested ::
Whilst looking at the modules some others suggested for helping
find the bits/bytes of a string I ran across this simple, built
in (I think - b module ??) way to find how many bits a string is:
my $bit_count = unpack("%32b*",$string);
I think it works pretty well because the place I'm trying to
use the number of bits in a calculation now gives proper results
that match a similar program that does what I'm trying to do.
Thanks for the pointers everyone!
