        When I get a chance I'll check on my laptop which is running Debian
        GNU/Linux with perl 5.8.3. What are you running?
I get the correct results also on my laptop. Did you build this perl 
yourself? Did you run the test suite?

Hmm, maybe it's a unicode problem and it's breaking during the output. I 
don't know much about unicode, so I may be way off. But...

try:
perl -C0 -e ...
 -or-
perl -Mbytes -e ...
 -or-
maybe better: eliminate the print altogether by doing a round-trip pack 
then unpack and compare the results to see if you get the original value.

Regards,
Randy.
