Fast Question about Conversion

Hi,
I am trying to convert an int to a char.
Well, not really:
I want to convert the int 100 to the char  string "100". (This would be
easier in Perl, I think.)
If I just recast the int into a char, I get the letter 'd'. Not what I
wanted at all.
It does not work at all to try to convert the int to a char* or char[].

I need to use a int for a function that wants a char. So I need to know how
to do this.

I left some code below to help visualize the problem.

,Thanks for any help given.
,Nathan

#include <iostream.h>

main() {
  int intTemp = 100 ;
  char charTemp =  intTemp ;

  /* This will only produce the letter 'd' and not the char string "100" */

  cout << "This is the int value: " << intTemp<< "\n" ;
  cout << "This is the int value converted to a char format: " << charTemp
<< "\n" ;


}
