Hello Corion,

...you'll have to tell us what the byte order on disk was :-)

Displaying the disk file in hex, the packed number 16909060 is:

     my $packed_number = pack( "N", 16909060 );
[download]

displayed as hex '01020304' :-)

Further, you can just do the following:

     my $packed_number = pack( "N", 16909060 );
     print unpack("H8",$packed_number),"\n";
[download]

which yields hex '01020304'.

Regards...Ed
