Thank you, that's nice. Oh, well, for the non-Perlmaniacs it might be confusing that two functions are called after the other, and hard to understand that print just prints the result of the pack or unpack function. Is perl -ne 'print(pack "u", $_);' better (and actually works always, not only with my test file)?
Yes I suppose that is more legible. Don't forget to mention that $_ has to become $$_ in a Makefile. I remember that totally confused me when I first tried this and got weird errors.
