Re: concatenate a non-printable character onto an ascii string and inspect the content

Aha: ord seems to solve this:

my $string = '123456';
foreach (my $i=0; $i<length($string); $i++) { printf("%02x ", ord(subs
+tr($string,$i,1))); }
print "\n";

produces the expected: 31 32 33 34 35 36, but the 0x1c is still a mystery
