My machine is 64 b ... pack('NC',$size,$aKey).
  1. Firstly, template char 'N' is a 32-bit unsigned integer in network (big-endian) order.

    If you are running Windows on Intel (90%+ are), then you would need 'V' which is 32-bit unsigned in VAX (little-endian) order.

  2. But ... as you are on 64-bit OS, if you are running a 64-bit perl: (you don't say?)

    Then size_t will equate to a 64-bit unsigned int which would be template 'Q'.

The simplest template would be 'J' which should work for 32-bit or 64-bit. (Excepting 32-bit perl's compiled for 64-bit ints.)

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

The start of some sanity?
