Tie::Array::PackedC 0.03

Tie::Array::PackedC is a tie a Perl array to a C-style array (packed; elements of a single, simple data type). SYNOPSIS use Tie::Array::PackedC qw(packed_array packed_array_string); my $ref=packed_array(1,2,3,4); my $ref2=packed_array_string(my $s,1,2,3,4); use Tie::Array::PackedC Double=>d; tie my @array,Tie::Array::PackedC::Double,1..10; $array[0]=1.141; Provides a perl array interface into a string containing a C style array. In other words the string is equivelent to the string that would be returned from the equivelent pack command (defaulting to pack type "l!") using a normal array of the same values. Eg: my @foo=(1..10); my $string=pack "l!*",@foo; leaves $string in basically the same condition as my (@foo,$string); tie @foo,Tie::Array::PackedC,$string,1..10; Its only basically the same and not exactly the same because the tie version may be longer due to preallocation..
