in reply to Reading fixed length records

What am I doing wrong?

Trying to use this feature on a version of Perl that doesn't support it.

Update: I'm not sure why, but I decided to expand on this. If you have Perl prior to version 5.6, then setting $/ to \20 will cause <> to read until it finds the string "SCALAR(0xbadf00d)" (approximately).
