I have to admit this code is too complex for me - too many shortcuts I'm unfamiliar with, but I'm doing my best to understand it :) (I guess I should move to the newbies section...)

Anyway, I can't get it to run - I get:

 
Bareword found where operator expected at test2.pl line 18, near "prin
+tf O "%s", pack 'V/A"
  (Might be a runaway multi-line // string starting on line 8)
        (Do you need to predeclare printf?)
Bareword found where operator expected at test2.pl line 18, near "', p
+ack 'V"
        (Missing operator before V?)
