How about GMP (for C) or Math::Bigint::GMP (which uses GMP when
installed and falls back to pure Perl if it isn't):
C:
#include "gmp.h"
mpz_t t;
mpz_init (t);
mpz_set_str (t, "01234567890123456789", 0);
mpz_out_str (stdout, 16, t);
Perl:
use Math::BigInt lib => 'GMP';
$serial = Math::BigInt->new("01234567890123456789");
print $serial->as_hex();
