$POST_DATA =~ s/(\w\w)/chr (hex($1))/eg;
this is a line from one of my programs where i send data from another
program in the form of arguements- yea, i'm sure there's a better way...
*laugh*
after much experimenting, this gave me the ascii equivalent of a string of
hex values..... i'm willing to bet that with modifications, you can get
yourself a decimal equivalent
good luck,
