in reply to How to access the contents of a specific memory address?
Perl has references itself (see perlreftut, perlref), but it does not allow you access to arbitrary memory addresses. That's a feature, because it means you can't get segmentation fauls or bus errors if you stick to pure Perl code (no C code involved).
What do you need C-Pointer dereferencing for? Maybe there's a better way to achieve your underlying goal.
