Try this :-) perl -le "print scalar reverse qq/ua.gro.gucp\100koocr/" \100 is '@'. Could also use \x40 (\x40 meaning it's hexadecimal): perl -le "print scalar reverse qq/ua.gro.gucp\x40koocr/" > What should I be reading? Use your favourite searching and hit up "octal representation in Perl" or something along those lines (maybe a perldoc page but I don't remember where it is).
