That was only half the answer, but I have figured the rest out myself.<br />
<br />
For those interested, one reads doubles with:<br />
<br />
read (FILE, $buffer, 8);<br />
$buffer = reverse($buffer);<br />
$double = unpack('d',$buffer);<br />

A simple question:<br />
<br />
Some C(++) program has written a lot of ints an doubles to a file. (I know the order of these.) I have to read them in perl (to integers and float point numbers). <br />
Help me with some code.<br />
<br />
Ints are 4 bytes, doubles 8. <br />
File byte order: most significant byte first.<br />
<br />
I could find it out my self, but have don't have the time right now.<br />
<br />
Regards<br />

simple: read C(++) int and double from file

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
