| buy not exactly sure how this is working. tried looking at | perldoc pack | but no luck. explanation is appreciated.
perldoc unpack gives the explanation: In addition to fields allowed in pack(), you may prefix a field with a %<number> to indicate that you want a <number>-bit checksum of the items instead of the items themselves. Default is a 16-bit checksum. Checksum is calculated by summing numeric values of expanded values (for string fields the sum of `ord($char)' is taken, for bit fields the sum of zeroes and ones).
