As for the question you added,
Explain why you think this……should produce different output than this…
I agree that there should be a function that does that, but it's not reverse.
Explain why you think
my $water_samples = join '', map chr, 113, 101, 769;
my $last_sample = substr($water_samples, -1, 1);
print(ord($last_sample), "\n");
should produce different output than
my $water_samples = join '', map chr, 113, 101, 769;
$water_samples = reverse($water_samples);
my $last_sample = substr($water_samples, 0, 1);
print(ord($last_sample), "\n");
Update: Corrected my numbers.

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).
