Re: [ID 20010327.004] Endianity at perlfunc manpage

Has this been fixed in 5.6.1?

Subject: New [ID 20010327.004] Endianity at perlfunc manpage


Hallo,

I have looked on the endianity at perlfunc manpage again, now on perl
v5.6.1, GNU/Linux Debian Woody. The text has changed, but is still
buggy.

There is
For example ... 0x12345678 ...

0x12 0x34 0x56 0x78 # little-endian
0x78 0x56 0x34 0x12 # big-endian

But this should be swapped. The rest is OK. I have run the test from the
manpage, and it makes me sure, that 0x78 0x56... is little endian on my
Intel Penitium II.

Thanks
Hans
