#!/usr/bin/env perl

use warnings;    

my $value =  hex ( 'FFFFF' );

print "Dec: ",$value,"\n";
printf ( "Hex: %X\n", $value );
my $binval = sprintf ( "Binary: %0*b\n",28, $value );

print $binval;
my @binval_arr = split('', $binval, 28);
print "Size: ",scalar @binval_arr,"\n";

print "\$binval_arr[5] = $binval_arr[5]\n";

output looks like this

Dec: 1048575

Hex: FFFFF

Binary: 0000000011111111111111111111

Size: 28

$binval_arr[5] = y

I don't understand from where it's getting the Y (maybe ASCII) but the location I'm trying to access has only one bit.

The problem was with the conversion from hex to binary. It took the BINARY string too.

Fix is my $binval = sprintf ( "%0*b\n",28, $value );
