You are still not getting across what you have and what you want it turned into. Give a concrete example or we will spend all of our time guessing what you want.Chas. Owens– Chas. Owens2009-05-19 06:29:40 +00:00Commented May 19, 2009 at 6:29

If you mean binary to ASCII like this webpage, this should do the trick:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$binarySample = "01010100011001010111001101110100"; # "Test" in binary
$chars = length($binarySample);
@packArray = pack("B$chars",$binarySample);
print "@packArray\n";
output:
Test

chr(0x41) or chr(65) turns the number 65 (41 in hex) into the letter "A", is this what you are looking for?

Strings can contain either binary data or text characters; nothing special is needed.
Tell us more about what you are trying to do, and that might shed some light on what you mean by "convert" or "binary".
