I'm sure there has to be a better way to do this (read: this could be way off the mark), but assuming you're referring to Crypt::RC4, try the following:
use Crypt::RC4;
my $key = "abcdefghijklm";
my $plaintext = "Hello, World!";
my $encrypted = RC4($key, $plaintext);
print $encrypted, "\n";
my @characters;
for (split //, $encrypted) {
push @characters, ord($_);
}
print @characters, "\n";
$encrypted = "";
for (@characters) {
$encrypted .= chr($_);
}
print $encrypted, "\n";
my $decrypted = RC4($key, $encrypted);
print $decrypted, "\n";
This basically just uses ord to return the numeric values of the encrypted string and place them in @characters. Probably not what you're looking for, but it can't hurt (can it? ;). I'm also curious, why exactly do you want to do this?

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).
