in thread Perl 5.10 pack() template modifier "treat signed"

Apologies. I will write out 100 times, "Engage brain for longer before touching keyboard".

In mitigation: I was convinced that because 'l<' and 'l>' gave signed 'V' and 'N', respectively, that there was no need for anything else -- and no need for the table to show any qualifier for 'nNvV'. Also I couldn't see much point in forcing 'nNvV' native... but then, in those cases '!' is the very signed qualifier I didn't think existed :-(

All in all, not a good posting. Sorry.

    No need to apologize... My original post doesn't exactly exhibit deep brain engangement either... :)

    Anyhow, thanks for taking the time to reply!
