expr

Returns the numeric ASCII value of the first character of expr . If expr is omitted, it uses $_ . The return value is always unsigned. If you want a signed value, use unpack('c' , expr ) . If you want all the characters of the string converted to a list of numbers, use unpack('C*' , expr ) instead.
