Sorry about the title, it's the best I can do... #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my $num=12; my $target=pack('n', $num); symlink($target, "foo") || die $!;
It dies with "No such file or directory" No symlink is created. What I want is a symlink named "foo" pointing to a 2-byte string. Yes, it would be a broken symlink. (Yes, this is how I want it). Symlink() can create broken links, the problem is the target. What to do? (And why doesn't it work?)
