Counter intuitively (for me at least): `print unpack ('B16', pack('n', $_))."\n" for (250..260); 0000000011111010 0000000011111011 0000000011111100 0000000011111101 0000000011111110 0000000011111111 0000000100000000 0000000100000001 0000000100000010 0000000100000011 0000000100000100` [download] the "network" format (big endian) does what I want on a little endian (Windows) system.
