You don't mention how you tried to convert the string to hexadecimal format,
so I can't really comment on why you're getting a result of 0.
You're also not very specific on what you mean by "hexadecimal format". I'm
assuming you meant you want each character in the string to be converted to
its hexadecimal equivalent. Based on that, here's one method:
my $string = '<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>';
my $hex_string = '';
foreach my $c (split(//, $string)) {
$hex_string .= sprintf("%02x", ord($c));
}
print "original: $string\n";
print "hex representation: $hex_string\n";
Is that what you were looking for?
You wouldn't, by any chance, be trying to convert a string for use in a URL,
would you? If so, there is a module for that; URI::Escape.
