Hi @ all, I have a Problem: I want to do this expression in Perl: 
(void*)0x78000000

[download]
it's a pointer to a address in the RAM. After reading this (it's written in german) I've tried the following in my Perl-Code: 
my $address = \0x78000000;

[download]
Now my question: How to use $address so I'm getting a real pointer to this piece of RAM? $address, $$address or \$address? I've all of them and the first and third expression gave a address about 0x9esomethinsomethin out while $$address gives 0x78000000 out.

If this problem cannot be solved in Perl, please let me know that ^^

Best regards,

DerHartmut

P.S.: Sorry for my bad bad english, I'm still learning it (and either Perl :D)
