BrowserUk, I wish I could buy you a beer or something, this has all come out perfectly! I put your subroutines into the bigger script and we had all the 400k by 400k comparisons in less than a day. Now to analyzing and plotting it... Thanks again.

    YW.

    I put your subroutines

    It would really be nice to get to/fromBitstring() added to pack/unpack. Done in XS, they ought to be much quicker.

    Personally I'd happily replace the existing 'b' & 'B' templates as I've never found a good use for them--but that'd never fly for "backward" people :) So, it's a case of deciding which of the remaining template chars would be most (or even vaguely) mnemonic.

    They are e/E, g/G, k/K, m/M, o/O, r/R or t/T. And none of those really leap off the page at me as candidates?
