I'm trying to write a program in perl that will take a binary file, convert it to hex, then save it to a text file. So far I'm not having any luck. The best I've been able to do is copy the file and open it in a text editor. Here is my code:
#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; print "Enter path:\n"; my $filename = <>; chomp $filename; print "Save as what?\n"; my $savefile=<>; chomp $savefile; open (BINARY, "$filename") || die "Couldn't open file: $!"; binmode BINARY; my $x=BINARY; open (SAVE,">$savefile") || die "Unable to save: $!"; print SAVE 0b"$x"; close BINARY; close SAVE; Any ideas?
