in reply to Memory addressing

What operating system are you attempting this on? Pretty much all modern OS's won't let you do this. Even in Pascal anymore.

The way to do this is via a device driver that sits in an elevated-privilege space (e.g., the kernel), and communicate with the driver instead.

      No chance unless you wish to write a kernel mode driver that does that sort of stuff and talk to that from Perl. Once you've written the driver the talking to it is easy.


      DWIM is Perl's answer to Gödel
        Writing a driver is the final destination with this. We've got a machine that will only run under win311 and its a real pain. I hoped to test out the viability of doing this with familiar tools ie perl.
