It should definitely be 'n'. "When a multi-octet quantity is transmitted[,] the most significant octet is transmitted first."	[reply]

unpack "v"? Are you sure? Little-endian? For a network protocol? This is where I need some help. `my $transid = unpack('n', substr($payload,0,2));` [download] My script returns "Theres a transid 29754" and dig returns 43785 in a separate terminal.	[reply] [d/l]

There's no relation between 29754 (0x743A) and 43785 (0xAB09). You're trying to unpack the wrong bytes, your expectations are wrong, or both.	[reply]
