Send Carriage return

Hello:

I hope that someone can set me on the right track with this:

I am trying to establish a Heartbeat with a remote machine using Perl.
I am sending a string like so:

print $socket "$output";

In order to keep the line open, the remote machine wants a carriage
return at the end (HEX 0D).

I have tried the perl \n, I have tried all kinds of ways , including:

$output=$string.hex'0D';
print $socket "$output";

This, of course, translates the hex carriage return into Decimal 13
and sends that number which doesn't help.

Does anybody know how to do this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

To send a 0x0D try using \r

Also it is common for network communications to use \r\n as the line
ending. You may not need it but it's a thought.
