Perl: Binary data to be split into ints, shorts and floats
 

We have a binary data of 240 bytes read from a file. This data needs to be assigned to different variables in the following manner..
{ int, int, int, int, short, short, short, int ,int, float, float, short ......and so on}, a total of 240 bytes.

I have done it in C, C++ and Java, but I am unable to do it in Perl. Can any one help?

Perhaps use unpack(). Read the perlpacktut for more information.
