Hi all,
Hello,
When converting a single number (eg 6) to its binary format using unpack as in: unpack 'B8', '6'; # output = 00110110
You are not converting the number 6, you are converting the string '6'.
I get the 8 character output 00110110. Does unpack have options for it to only return the last 4 characters of this output (ie 0110)? Or is the only option to use substr?
