Am not sure whether am answering your question or not !

I believe you would be knowing the reply I post.

Or, it should be that I misunderstood your question.

But anyways my try is here,

Code:
my $a = "fine";

print " $a : ord : " . ord($a) . "\n";

my $length = length($a);
for ( my $i = 0; $i <= $length; $i++ ) {
  my $c = substr($a, $i, 1);
  print " char: $c ord: " . ord($c) . "\n";

}
