If you are doing perl, then look at the pack() and unpack() perl
functions. In this case you might want to avoid converting to network
byte order unless you are a better perl hacker than I am. I could
never reliably swap the bytes back ... probably some sort of binary
vs. ascii interpretation which I wasn't able to resolve correctly.
Assuming you can read the data packet with something like:
$handle->recv($msg, 32768);
Then you can do something like:
@s = unpack("iiddfffffffiffffiiffifff", $msg);
... to extract the message into a perl array i = int, d = double, f =
float, etc.
