Sorry about the title, it's the best I can do...
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $num=12;
my $target=pack('n', $num);
symlink($target, "foo") || die $!;
It dies with "No such file or directory"
No symlink is created. What I want is a symlink named "foo" pointing
to a 2-byte string. Yes, it would be a broken symlink. (Yes, this is
how I want it).
Symlink() can create broken links, the problem is the target. What to
do? (And why doesn't it work?)
TIA
