Is the documentation for Perl 5.20 'pack' correct?

flexvault has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I saw that 5.20.0 was released and I looked to see if 'pack' had a 64bit 'network' integer, but instead I saw the following description in the documentation for 'pack'

Byteorders "1234" and "12345678" are little-endian; "4321" and "87654321" are big-endian.

To me that is wrong and I verified with 'pack'ing 16909060 with the 'N' network parameter which is hex '01020304' onto disk and it was in the order I expected.

Am I losing it, or should the documentation say the opposite?

Regards...Ed
