What is the NULL character in Perl?
$tenNULLs = \x00 x 10; print $tenNULLs; Here's the output : SCALAR(0x10057c)SCALAR(0x10057c)SCALAR(0x10057c)SCALAR(0x10057c)SCALAR(0x10057c)SCALAR(0x10057c)SCALAR(0x10057c)SCALAR(0x10057c)SCALAR(0x10057c)SCALAR(0x10057c) I was expecting ^@ not SCALAR(0x10057c) I want to pad a binary file with NULLs.
