hex conversion

[Paul Cotter]

Hi

What combination of sprintf/pack/upack/asc/hex/xyz.pm etc will allow me to convert a 
string in to a string hex equivalent. I dare say, in Perl's little quirks there is an 
arcane subroutine called something like dtcnvx that does just what I want...

Something like 

print dtcnvx('Ab c')     # gives   41622063

Or is it a 'brew-your-own' - a sort of hexidecimate and reconstruct.

I though I had it with hex...fooled me again.
