in thread dynamic extractor based off static references in file (perl)

$VAR1 = ' ♦└';

Is that the same as  " \4\xC0" (actual dd-output of whatever perlmonks mangled of your Dumper output)?

I already have the endianess worked out.

Funny, what is the endianess? What do the bytes represent? (don't say a number in binary form -- there are a million of those, we need to know which one)

    I have figured out what i needed to do convert the character string into a hex string. Now i can put that into the variable $buffer and print Dumper($buffer)returns the correct value of 04C0.
    The problem still is, I still cannot use $buffer (04C0) in sysseek either because its a non numerical value.
