Below is the structure or format of data in binary file: <structure> Offset Field Name size 0x0 magic_numbe 8 0x8 retry_count 1 0x9 number_record 1 0x10 dc_timestamp 8 <\structure> and the code is: 
open(FH, "<DCdata.bin") or die "Can't open DCdata.bin file for reading
+!";
binmode(FH); 

while (<FH>)
{
    $index = 0;
    
    foreach $field_name (keys (%disk_structure)) {
        
        $value = read (FH, $buffer, ($field_name * 8), 0);
        print tell (FH);
        print "\n";
    }
    
    foreach $f_name (keys (%disk_structure_record)) {
        
        $value_record = read (FH, $buffer, ($f_name * 8), 0);
        #print tell (FH)\n;
    }
}
