Help for Binary File Handling

Hi,

I want to generate a data file that is to be read by a 'C' program. But I got in dilemma after checking the file generated by the following program.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. $buffer = "";
  2.  
  3. $path = "C:/Documents and Settings";
  4. $bfile = "$path/binary.dat";
  5.  
  6. open(FILE, "> $bfile") || die("Can't open $hfile");
  7.  
  8. binmode FILE;
  9.  
  10. $add = 0x00103d08;
  11. $fld_beg = 0;
  12. $fld_end = 31;
  13. $val = 0xffffffff;
  14.  
  15. @struc = ($add,$fld_beg,$fld_end,$val);
  16. close(FILE);
  17.  

With the same data I wrote a program in 'C' to see the outputs whether they are same when compared with perl outputs. Unfortunately both are different.

Can some one help me to create a binary data file which should be same as if it is generated by a C program.

Thanks in advance.
