Does it unpack it into the hash? Or does it keep a pointer into
the original structure?
What happens when a new key is added to the hash?
What happens if the underlying structure is overlayed?
sysread(FOO, $SomePackedCobolData, $length);
%DataHash = unpack $mypic, $SomePackedCobolData;
sysread(FOO, $SomePackedCobolData, $length);
