Anyone have the perl unpack template for wtmp?

I'm trying to write a perl script that will parse the contents of the wtmp
file. I've looked through the utmp headers and can't quite get the unpack
template right. Here's what I've been trying:

$hp_utmp_template = "A8 A4 A12 s s s A16 l";

but it doesn't seem to work. When I run the script using simple print
statements as a test it comes back with garbage. Anyone have a working
template or see what I've done wrong with my template?

Thanks,
Christian
