You need to print the above string as the indivudal hex representation of  
the characters, eg "051F88EE......A1" it should be 13 pairs.

Sorry, my perl isn't up to it.

Or is that the reverse of what the code above does?

Is there not a website that will convert a pass phrase to the 13  
characters?

It does seem that WEP is not always straight forward.
