Hi,
It appears that you are using two single quotes in place of a double
quote on each side of the 'C', so the argument grouping to pack() is
off. Try this:
$value =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9] [a-fA-F0-9]) /pack("C", hex($1))/eg;
This ensures that "C" is interpreted as a literal string, rather than as
an empty string followed by a C followed by an empty string.
Cheers,
kjw
