Need Help??

Many thanks for your solution of my problem. It Works!

But I don't understand the magic used in that line. Could you please explain that for me?

$payload =~ s/[^[:print:]]/./g;

So the statement replaces all non-printable characters with periods. `@_=qw; Just another Perl hacker,; ;$_=q=print "@_"= and eval;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
