My numbers look correct to me.

print unpack 'B*', 'twelve bytes'; ## hand spaced 001011 101110 111010 100110 001101 100110 111010 100110 000001 000100 011010 011110 001011 101010 011011 001110

You show code containing 'B*' but the bits that you show are from using 'b*'. That is why you can match the 'b*' case against it.

Trying to match the 'B*' against that string gives one of the less-sane results I mentioned (where the bit orders are mismatched).

To be extra clear, using 'B*' would result in each group of 8 bits being reversed (it doesn't reverse the whole bit string), which results in different 6-bit chunks not just reversed 6-bit chunks (so neither of your cases cover it).

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
