On the matter of unpack(C4) and the gethost returns,
I certainly agree that all pack/unpack ickiness should
be hidden away. It's nutty that gethostbyaddr takes
a binary address, yet just try to get that with getnetwhatever.
See the Net::hostent manpage, where I confess that you
still need to do this wackiness.

gallavanting about the eurozone sending mail whose
answers he'll not be able to read for a month.
