3.2.104 ord

ord EXPR

This function returns the numeric ASCII value of the first character of EXPR. If EXPR is omitted, it uses $_. The return value is always unsigned. If you want a signed value, use unpack('c', EXPR). If you want all the characters of the string converted to a list of numbers, use unpack('C*', EXPR) instead.
