Seems to me a trivial usage of pack, and not as clear to follow up
programmers.
I suggested it because this is what pack/unpack was designed to do...
extract data from streams. In this case a null terminated string.
I've seen code where this is done with substrs to try to chop off the
junk at the beginning and lop off the terminator at the end - because
the programmer di

Just to get rid of nulls? or do you have another reason for suggesting pack?

David,
What you're really looking for is pack/unpack try this...
unpack("A*",$value) - it's pretty common for c++ stuff to marshall a

I wrote a perl TCP/IP client program that talks to a server. The server
sends me ASCII over the scoket, but it appends a NULL byte to every string
(0x00), which I discovered with file redirection and a hex editor (it was
invisible in the shell output). How can I prune this byte off of the
string in
