Hello there!
I'm looking for a generic solution to split any number into single bytes printed in hex and separated by space, e.g.:
2 => 2
20 => 14
200 => c8 00
2000 => d0 07
20000 => 20 4e
200000 => 40 0d 03 00
... and so on
I've come up with the following code which works like a charm as long as I'm telling it what type of number (char, short, long, quad) it needs to convert:
$ perl -wle "print join ' ', unpack('(H2)*', pack('c', 2));"
02
$ perl -wle "print join ' ', unpack('(H2)*', pack('s', 200));"
c8 00
$ perl -wle "print join ' ', unpack('(H2)*', pack('l', 200000));"
40 0d 03 00
Is there a generic solution where I don't have to specify the data type for pack()?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
