I am trying to hand pack an net addr. On the server end (linux - i386) it
works fine.:
$addr = pack($template,AF_INET,$port,$iaddr);
bind(MY_SOCKET, $addr) || die "$0: Cannot bind .. $!\n";
--
on the client end (win2k - i386) it fails.
--
$template = 'S n C4 x8';
$port = 6668;
$proto   = getprotobyname('tcp');
$addr = (gethostbyname("10.1.101.12"))[4];
$remote = pack($template,AF_INET,$port,$addr);
socket(SOCK,AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,$proto) ||
     die "$0: Cannot open socket\n";
connect(SOCK, $remote) or die "can't connect: $!\n";
--
the only error i get is:
Argument "\n^Ae\f" isn't numeric in pack at client.pl line 17.
can't connect: Unknown error.
which doesn't tell me anything. i get a similar warning about the non
numeric on the server end but it works fine. It works if use 'inet_aton' and
'sockaddr_in' on the addr/port, but just curious why the pack is not
working..

Thanks
