Perl pack integer
Given this value:
my $value = hex('0x12345678');
And I would like mine to be like hexdump
this (same bit order):
0000000 1234 5678
I used this method, but it mixes up my value:
open(my $out, '>:raw', 'foo') or die "Unable to open: $!";
print $out pack('l', $value); # Test in little endian
print $out pack('l>', $value); # Test in big endian
This is what I get:
0000000 5678 1234 3412 7856
How can I get the bit ok?
EDIT
So, the problem might come from my hexdump because I am getting the same result with the suggested answer.
$ perl -e 'print pack $_, 0x12345678 for qw( l> N )' | hexdump
0000000 3412 7856 3412 7856
I got the correct result with hexdump -C
:
$ perl -e 'print pack $_, 0x12345678 for qw( l> N )' | hexdump -C
00000000 12 34 56 78 12 34 56 78 |.4Vx.4Vx|
And I found an explanation here: hexdump confusion
