Convert-Binary-C (0.74)
I have problem while installing this package on mac os x 10.5.8. I couldn't pass "make test". At the end of testing, I have such reports:
"Files=58, Tests=50433, 248 wallclock secs ( 6.91 usr 1.18 sys + 43.14 cusr 4.79 csys = 56.02 CPU)
Result: FAIL
Failed 8/58 test programs. 2876/50433 subtests failed.
make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 255
"
My compiler is gcc4.
Anyone could help? many thanks

Clearly one of the most amazing packages I've seen so far.
When you need to encode/decode structures (read: "messages") which are defined on C level, then this is *the* package to go. It's fast, easy to use, has excellent documentation - and on top, Marcus was always quick to provide very helpful insight with some open questions.
In my case, writing a message tracer/sender for an embedded application couldn't have been easier. Thanks a lot Marcus!

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

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.
