    True, but in all fairness I'm new, so I need help identifying what fish I need to fish for ;). At least I'm learning to fish in the Perl pond.

      I'm not sure what you mean here. The purpose of my post was simpy to provide some documentary clarification for a point made by the Anonymous Monk.


      Give a man a fish:  <%-{-{-{-<

      Anonymous Monk mentioned unpack, so AnomalousMonk posted the documentation for that function, along with the documentation for pack, so that you could get a better understanding of what they actually do (essentially, elaborating on anonymonk's answer).
