** Perl Pack Bug Report **
When packing integers for VAX little endian 32bit unsigned, the host byte-order
seems to stay. For example: perl -e 'print pack "V",123'|od shows that the
integer is aligned in 16bit chunks rather than 8. After a write(1,&i,4); with
the same result in byte-order, I've concluded that perl must be assuming that
little endian encoding are always in 8-bit chunks.
