the perl6-native "read-int32" or native-but-experimental "unpack" are the
natural answers- they map well from problem to answer! There's a good
example of perl6's pack in this thread.
read-int32 was mentioned without an example so...
my Buf $x = Buf.new(0x00, 0xFF, 0x88, 0xAE,0x5D,0x5C,0x72);
Buf:0x<00 FF 88 AE 5D 5C 72>
> $x.read-int32(3,LittleEndian).base(0x10)
===SORRY!=== Error while compiling:
Undeclared name:
LittleEndian used at line 1
Oh darn, need Perl6.d for read-int32 and the Endian enums! Is 6.d packaged
for general use?
