And here's a version with Data::Dumper and some config vars that also works
Neither this nor the rendition using Data::Dump works for me on Windows:
C:\_32\pscrpt>type test3.pl
use strict; # https://perlmonks.org/?node_id=11133064
use warnings;
my $template = 'd<';
my $nv = 2.4;
$nv = 4135; # NOTE errors for this number
my $p = pack $template, $nv;
use Data::Dumper;
$Data::Dumper::Terse = $Data::Dumper::Useqq = 1;
my $s = Dumper $p;
print ">$s<\n";
system $^X, '-wle', "use strict; print unpack('H*', $s);";
C:\_32\pscrpt>perl test3.pl
>"\0\0\0\0\0'\260\@"
<
syntax error at -e line 1, at EOF
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
C:\_32\pscrpt>
I guess it's something to do with Windows command line quoting rules.
Mind you, having it work on Windows specifically is not important.
Now that I have a working example, I can while away some time porting your fix to Windows when I have nothing better to do.
Thanks tybalt89 !!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
