Is there a size limitation as to how big a scalar containing an integer can be?
I've noticed some strange behavior and wonder if this could be the cause. What I've got is a perl program that parses a tcpdump file. Every minute it starts a new entry in the hash of the total traffic observed during that minute. I've run the program a few times and it seems to not have data always ending at the same time. For example I know there is data for 506 minutes as the when totaling traffic specifying UDP or icmp it runs this long. However, when I specify TCP the last entry in the hash that is printed out has varied from 270 minutes to 311 minutes. Interestingly enough all the data is identical until up until the dump ends. When the parsing is done the contents of the hash are printed and this is when I discovered the difference. Ideas?
