Stupid IRC people...

[notfred]

I go on IRC to ask a technical question....

Background: the guy called lzh is a freaking genious, I would like to get his input.

here's an abbreviated transcript.

<not^fred> how can I convert a scalar containing 4 bytes (a 32bit unsigned integer) into it's decimal equivelent with unpack?
*** lzh has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
*** lzh has joined #perl
<not^fred> how can I convert a scalar containing 4 bytes (a 32bit unsigned integer) into it's decimal equivelent with unpack?
<eschmidt> not^fred: don't repeat
<eschmidt> by "scalar containing 4 bytes", do you mean a floating point number?


God damn self-righteuos dumbass. No, I don't mean a float, I mean a damn unsigned integer!

argh :|

<not^fred> hey sully
<sully> heya notfred, just saw your AT thread
<not^fred> don't post it here

I actually have a habit of getting banned from #perl on Undernet. Nobody has really been able to explain to me why.

hehehe...and you will never find out!

Is what you are looking for unpack("%I", $var)?

perldoc -f pack lists I as unsigned integer.

 

[yllus]

Actually it's probably because I have a tendency to go off topic while on IRC and #perl is strictly a problem-solving channel. No need for braggadocio; I know you weren't involved.

Rias, nice to see another Perl coder on hand. If nobody has gotten to welcoming you yet, welcome and thanks for joining AT.

 

[Rias]

thanks yllus, I've been a lurker for quite some time now.

Too bad that channel can't handle off-topic talk, as that is much more fun

From my experience with different #perl on other networks, they are much more friendly. Even the channel where most of the core developers hang out has much more off-topic talk than actual on-topic talk.

 

[notfred]

Got it to work (with lzh's help) with unpack "N", $var;
