β¨ NAME β¨
Data::ParseBinary::Executable::PE32 β bestie, this is the parser that reads Win32 EXE / DLL files π and it lives in the Data::...e::PE32(3pm) manpage, iykyk π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
use Data::ParseBinary::Executable::PE32 qw{$pe32_parser};
my $data = $pe32_parser->parse(CreateStreamReader(File => $fh));
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
okay so. This thing can parse a Windows (and also DOS?? π lowkey nobody's sure) EXE and DLL file. Slay.
But β and I need you to hear me on this β when you build it back, there are some minor differences from the original file, and Windows will declare that it's not a valid Win32 application π. So it's giving round-trip, but not perfect round-trip. Adjust expectations accordingly, bestie.
This is a part of the Data::ParseBinary package π«Ά and it's just one ready-made parser β so for additional usage info, please go to the main page β
no cap, if you want the full lore, the main Data::ParseBinary page is where it's at π
and that's the whole vibe, periodt β¨π this page ships as part of perl v5.32.0, dated 2021-01-04 β ily, go parse something iconic ππ
