First of all, I want to congratulate you, as a newbie, for utilizing code tags :). - While you may want 33 bits worth of data, when you write it, it will be 40-bits worth of data. You would be best served by explicitly defining all 40 bits in your pack operation
- pack takes string parameters. You're reading in a binary value, and passing that as the argument to pack. To do what you want, you should my $str = unpack ("b32", $buff); and then use $str as the second arg
- You probably want to use syswrite to do your output, rather than print
fnord

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).
