Spooky has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have two hex strings: 1) '00000034000031b10191403b8811bb1366e4' 2) '000000340000003901b358fbdf4119dc72c1ac082b' I unpack the first with 'NNCCd' and get the correct values: 52 12721 1 145 27.53152055 I unpack the second with 'NNCNd' with good output: 52 57 1 3008953311 423708.689132812 What I'm grappling with is exactly how, in these cases, the "unpack configurations" (NNCCd or NNCNd) is breaking down (correctly) the hex values - thanks!
