What profiteth a man, if he win a flame war, yet lose his cool?
I am confused. I can't figure out what ord does. For example I've
pasted the NO-BREAK-SPACE (00A0) between the quotation marks in the
ord of the following line.
print ord( ), \n;
When I run this line in a Perl script I get
194
What does this 194 mean? As far as I know A0 = 10x16 = 160.

NO-BREAK SPACE is 00A0, which in UTF-8 is xC2 xA0. Hex xC2 = Decimal 194.

so
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use utf8;
print ord( ), \n;
