Hey all u perl guys, I'm a newbie . So excuse a dumb question like this.
I just wanna know how to get the ascii value of a char
like
a->97
A->65
Let me put it this way, i wanna know how to run the javascript funcation "charCodeAt" in perl.

Example:
// 0123456789012345678901234567890123456789
01 var s = "See the brown dog chase the fat black cat."; Response.write(s.charCodeAt(14)); Response.write(s.charCodeAt(42));

The example produces the following output.
100 0

thx in advance.

Hi,

use the ord command.

print ord('A'); #prints 65

to get more details on the command try:

Perldoc -f ord

Hope this helps.
