Wrong endianness in Data::ParseBinary::FileSystem::MBR

Thanks for the Data::ParseBinary module! I found a problem with Data::ParseBinary::FileSystem::MBR "sector_offset" and "size" should be ULInt32 instead of UBInt32.

Hi Paul. Can you point me to the documentation about the binary structure of the MBR? I built it a while ago, and can't find the specification now. Thanks, Shmuel.

Shmuel, I discovered the issue when I compared the output of Data::ParseBinary::FileSystem::MBR and "sfdisk --list -uS /dev/sda". It was a little hard to find, but I found this Microsoft TechNet article at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc977219.aspx that mentions in the section below the table "Numbers larger than one byte are stored in little endian format" Paul
