      perl -e 'print chr for qw(78 111 119 32 72 105 114 105 110 103)'

        How unsurprising that we all came up with the same solution:

        perl -e'print chr for qw( 78 111 119 32 72 105 114 105 110 103 );

        was what I did before I even saw the replies.

        Hooray for laziness.

          Here's some packing:

          perl -e'print pack"C*",78,111,119,32,72,105,114,105,110,103'

          and if we can require the user to hit Return + Ctrl-D:

          perl -pe'$_=pack"C*",78,111,119,32,72,105,114,105,110,103'
