I am trying to hand pack an net addr. On the server end (linux - i386) it works fine.: $addr = pack($template,AF_INET,$port,$iaddr); bind(MY_SOCKET, $addr) || die "$0: Cannot bind .. $!\n"; -- on the client end (win2k - i386) it fails. -- $template = 'S n C4 x8'; $port = 6668; $proto = getprotobyname('tcp'); $addr = (gethostbyname("10.1.101.12"))[4]; $remote = pack($template,AF_INET,$port,$addr); socket(SOCK,AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,$proto) || die "$0: Cannot open socket\n"; connect(SOCK, $remote) or die "can't connect: $!\n"; -- the only error i get is: Argument "\n^Ae\f" isn't numeric in pack at client.pl line 17. can't connect: Unknown error. which doesn't tell me anything. i get a similar warning about the non numeric on the server end but it works fine. It works if use 'inet_aton' and 'sockaddr_in' on the addr/port, but just curious why the pack is not working..
