[MacPerl] ASCII and HTML (was New User's MacPerl Questions)

Here's a (really) simple script I use:

print "<HTML><BODY BGCOLOR=FFFFFF><P><FONT SIZE=+3>\n";
for ($i = 0; $i < 256; $i++)  {
  print "<BR><FONT COLOR=AAAAAA>$i - </FONT>&#$i;\n";
  }
print "</FONT></BODY></HTML>\n";

It just prints out the html code ala - &#0; to &#255;
view the output in your browser (or run as a cgi!)
