I need to map things like http:// to the %xx code. Change none
digital/letter to % then the ASCII value in 16.

It should be a 1 line code.

Sounds like you want URI::Escape

Homework, eh?

$url =~ s/([^\w.-])/sprintf "%%%02X", ord $1/eg;

don't understand it and don't care. it works.

and you will never understand perl thinking like that. good luck with
future homework and all those spammers and crackers who will ream your
homegrown cgi scripts.

$DIETY save us from twits like you who think they should be allowed to
code.

You've joined a long tradition of sloppy programmers with that response. And
the standard reply is if you don't know what it's doing, how do you know it
works?

So, you just wanted to share your thoughts with the world?

Well, posting the answer to your own question if you find it elsewhere
is good netiquette; you have to give him credit for that, even if his
attitude towards understanding the code he uses is horrible.

Well, you don't need to change http://, but perhaps some of the
things that form a URI later. See the URI module for all the options.

Indeed, there is a good reading which covers more aspects of such attitude
