in thread Is the documentation for Perl 5.20 'pack' correct?

The docs don't say the output of perl -V:byteorder has any relationship to 0x12345678. It simply (and correctly) says it's 1234 or 12345678 on LE systems.

    You're a great communicator ikegami

      Thanks! I've always found that adding runnable examples and diagrams help a lot.
