Re^2: Strings overwrite themselves in print command

Bill,

I like the simplicity in this approach. I haven't learned enough perl to come up with this myself so thanks for stretching my understanding. However, I am seeing an error when I apply this code:

Not enough arguments for unpack at script.pl line 64, near "'@12A6';"

Not certain what this means.

It means your Perl is ancient and doesn't support the default second argument. Use `my ($memID) = unpack '@12A6', $_;` [download] instead.
