Argument "\0^D&" isn't numeric in sysseek

Based on those bytes/octets, to turn them a "number", it all depends on what kind ... see pack, unpack, perlpacktut

Just guessing at the right one (guessing is bad, knowing is better) 

use Data::Dump qw/ dd pp /;
dd( unpack q{c*}, "\0^D&"  );# (0, 94, 68, 38)
dd( unpack q{C*}, "\0^D&"  );# (0, 94, 68, 38)
dd( unpack q{W*}, "\0^D&"  );# (0, 94, 68, 38)
dd( unpack q{s*}, "\0^D&"  );# (24064, 9796)
dd( unpack q{S*}, "\0^D&"  );# (24064, 9796)
dd( unpack q{l*}, "\0^D&"  );# 642014720
dd( unpack q{L*}, "\0^D&"  );# 642014720
dd( unpack q{i*}, "\0^D&"  );# 642014720
dd( unpack q{I*}, "\0^D&"  );# 642014720
dd( unpack q{n*}, "\0^D&"  );# (94, 17446)
dd( unpack q{N*}, "\0^D&"  );# 6177830
dd( unpack q{v*}, "\0^D&"  );# (24064, 9796)
dd( unpack q{V*}, "\0^D&"  );# 642014720
dd( unpack q{q*}, "\0^D&"  );# ()
dd( unpack q{Q*}, "\0^D&"  );# ()
