Re^3: unsigned int in the host format and raw socket

An IP (v4) address is any number between 0 and 4294967295 inclusively. Different interfaces expect the address to be in different formats (reprentations). "aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd" is just one format. Net::RawIP works with a number of formats, including numerical (0 to 4294967295) and dotted ('aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd').

For example, two following two lines are identical:

ip => { saddr => '202.227.44.16' }
ip => { saddr => 3403885584 }

I hope that answers your question; I don't quite understand it.
