The inverse operation - packing byte contents from a string of hexadecimal
digits - is just as easily written. For instance:
- my $s = pack( 'H2' x 10, map { "3$_" } ( 0..9 ) );
+ my $s = pack( 'H2' x 10, 30..39 );
print "$s\n";
Since we feed a list of ten 2-digit hexadecimal strings to C<pack>, the
pack template should contain ten pack codes. If this is run on a computer
with ASCII character coding, it will print C<0123456789>.
