Convert-Binary-C (0.58)

I'm just chiming in to agree with Tassilo's review. This is a great module.

Convert-Binary-C (0.45)

The only shortcoming of this module is probably it's confusing name which may people distract from what it does.
Feed it C code (of any complexity, it has its own yacc grammar), request a particular structure from it and pack or unpack data according to the struct. That's what the module does.

That way, reading a wav header into a hash for instance becomes a one-liner if you have the C struct. If you already have C code, this module is much more powerful than Perl's built-in pack() and unpack(). It's also faster and very configurable.
