I would guess that your PIC(5) means four or five bytes, at least that matches up somewhat well with your data. If we assume the first four bytes, then unpack 'N', substr $str, 0,4 gives 431:

#!perl use strict; use warnings; my $str = "\0\0\1\o{257}\a\o{344}\0\3\0\0\0s\06\o{002}\o{267}"; my $data1 = unpack "N", substr($str,0,4); print $data1;

I don't know how to get from the 431 I get to the 425 you get, but maybe the other numbers give a better clue here?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
