A question about strings and hexadecimal numbers of special characters

Hi. I'm very new to Perl and have a basic question. How can I convert special characters contained in a string to hexadesimal numbers. I'm trying to access a cgi program but the string I use with the post method contains quote marks, question marks, etc. and the program crashes. I have: $st
