hello!
im trying to write a script that connects to a gameserver over udp.
the communication is based on XDR encoded packets, you can see how the packet should be crafted on the servers sourcecode:
http://gitorious.org/fg/flightgear/blobs/next/src/MultiPlayer/multiplaymgr.cxx#line900

So im connected to my local server, but i cant figure out how to craft those packets (im seeing "bad client" in the servers logfile).
pack() is only for numeric values, right? the cpan XDR module is no help either :(

can you point me in the right direction?
