Welcome G109B,
I think you will find it easier to use binary strings for your project.
To get you started:
perl -e '$h=pack("H*","139686DA20C1");$b=unpack("B*",$h);print length(
+$b)," $b\n";'
Then use 'substr' to get 5 binary digits at a time.
while( $b )
{ print substr($b,0,5,"");
}
Do the opposite to build your blob.
Why are you using Base 5, when the rest of the world uses binary?
Regards...Ed

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
