they are the same for perl, but they are not the same for the device on the serial port.
the device treats them differently.
the issue is not really perl, but what ways there are to send the same data in different ways, which might get interpreted differently.
a more confusing example:
print "\x36" is 6 in perl, is 54 on device if decimal is expected
print "6" is 6 in perl, is 6 on device
the issue is primary how the device handels the data, which is different on most functions as well. kind regards - alex

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
