Let's say I know the exact location of a peice of data
Let's say...you don't. :) I tell you what, you tell me how
you know this, and I'll tell you how to do it. You won't like
the answer.
For starters, you can't take a string and get a viable reference
from it. Well, almost. It involves XS programming and that's
torture for most people.
What'cha got in memory? How do you know it's there? Is this
part of your process or someone else's? Is this a machine API (BIOS?)?
Inquiring minds want to know.

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).
