The problem (at least mentally) I ran into was how do I know the size of the int that pack created. Now I know on 32 bit systems its typically 32 bits, and thus 4 bytes, but on 64 bit that changes. I did figure out I could actually pack a fake buffer with two ints on the reader side and get their length, but that only works on the same machine (which is good enough in my case, but I'm still curious). How though, could I force it to create 32 bit ints? Would I use "n" (for network) when I packed them?

Here's why: At Socialtext, we're looking at making VMware downloads of our Socialtext Open wiki as a VMware machine. The manual process may well be daunting unless we have a way to automate it. This API sounds like it might help. https://www.socialtext.net/stoss/index.cgi?vmware_discussion_w_jt_smith -- Andy Lester => andy at petdance.com => www.petdance.com => AIM:petdance From reese.bailey at pgnmail.com Thu Feb 15 13:26:43 2007 From: reese.bailey at pgnmail.com (Bailey, Reese) Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2007 16:26:43 -0500 Subject: [Raleigh-talk] February 22 Meeting Agenda Message-ID: <74744748B30C45478B5DC29C3A4D38CD0188296D@NT000834.oak.zone1.progress-energy.com> The VMWare API gets my vote.

I very much appreciate the interest folks have voiced regarding the topic (VMware's Perl API) recently. In order to give the topic proper treatment and to have one less thing for me to worry about this week, I'm asking that the talk move to our March meeting date. I'll announce closer to time where the presentation will be located. McClatchy is in the process of moving to a new building, and I'm not sure how far along we'll be in that process by March 15th. I am sorry to move the date on you all again, but look forward to seeing you for the talk, --bradoaks Feel free to throw suggestions around at raleigh-talk at pm.org and join that list for discussion if you haven't already. http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/raleigh-talk On 2/15/07, Brad Oaks wrote: > Hello Perl Mongers, > > I have not been able to rake together a talk for a meeting this > evening.

Unfortunately I needed to cancel my presentation at tonight's meeting and move the topic back to our March meeting. I did not solicit a replacement speaker due to the late timing of my need to reschedule.
