Wildcards can be used within the template in pack. There is no need of
the inner loop you have written. For example, to unpack all signed
longs:
my @signed_longs = unpack ( 'I*', $buffer );
Ah! Wildcards...never saw that one coming... I presumed I was just
misunderstanding the perldocs.
Strange usage of the term "wildcard" here.
I think "quantifier" is more appropriate.
