[PATCH][RFC] perlfunc.pod

The wording in the description of the 'w' pack conversion in perlfunc.pod
is misleading - it says BER, which usually refers to ASN.1 BER, but in
this case refers to a "Binary Encoded Representation" as defined by the
Scarab project at http://www.casbah.org/Scarab/binary-serialization.html
This patch adds clarifying text.
