I am very new to perl and I need to do the following: from a module name.pm file, find a text file, open it, find the string 0xF110000C00 and then on the next line after that I have to parse the string: 0x0402000000000100020003000400060007000800100000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000 This would be version 04.02.00 and then continue to 0001 says slot 1, 0002 says slot 2, and so forth. Create a subroutine and in the perl module fru.pm that will Find the record in discovered information a. Parse the string into bytes b. Decode it into a HASH structure c. {version} {current} {major} {current} {minor} {current} {maintenance} {current}{patch} {current}{aux1} {current}{aux2} {backup} {major} {backup} {minor} {backup} {maintenance} {backup}{patch} {backup}{aux1} {backup}{aux2} {fruid} Return the hash d. If optional param is true, print a nice table of this output e. Usage: $sys->{'1_2'}{slot}7->getFUMIStatusRecord() This is not for a class. This is for my knowledge only. Any help would be appreciated. I am using linux. Thanks, Craig
