Interesting question, how do you bitwise shift a long hex string ?	Can't Post

say this is encryption, i have a key like this,
my $hexString = "D55A445A08C92C1208216D916AD839CE739CC10414119243FFE70B113C";

now i need to get rid of the last 3 bits,
basically

$newHexString = $hexString >> 3.

how can you do that in perl ?

You'll want to use a combination of the hex() and sprintf() or printf() functions.

You will probably also need to use Math::BigInt or one of its brothers.
