in thread Corrupt Data?

I would have used "W" instead of "A"

The reason I used "A" is because it works in older Perls, too, like 5.8.8.  "W" is available in 5.10 only.

    Then I wouldn't have used unpack. /(.{1,4})/sg would do the trick too.

    The point is moot (between "A" and "W") because splickles stated that the input consists of hexadecimal MAC addresses, that would be matched by either one of them.
