Assuming you meant "signed" for the second case, here's revised code with extended test cases.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict; # https://perlmonks.org/?node_id=11136191
use warnings;

my @test = map 2 * 10 ** $_, 0 .. 16;
for my $n ( 0, @test, map -$_, @test )
  {
  my @bytes = reverse sprintf('%016X', $n) =~
    s/^0{8}(0{4}(00)?)?(?=[0-7])//r =~
    s/^F{8}(F{4}(FF)?)?(?=[89A-F])//r =~
    /../g;
  print "$n => @bytes\n";
  }

Note that for 200, C8 is a negative number, so the 00 is required to make it so that C8 00 is positive.

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).
