I'm very interested to hear what else the perl porters list will say,

($num1 % 1000) * 16777216;
ie: (var_any_number % literal_numerical_constant ) *
I don't know if it helps to resolve anything, but writing the literal
constant:
167772160
in the form:
16777216.0E1;
i.e., in scientific notation, and thus forcing it into floating point mode,
yields the correct results:
#
my $base = 167772160; # no

Your (1) above is more complex. The error occurs in the

2^31-1 to 2^32-1
Where 2^32 works correctly.

Ok - so it seems that there are 3 ingredients that must be present for
the
problem to arise:
1) Big numbers - beyond 2^31-1.
2) The '%' operator.
3) A 'bare number' (for want of a better term).
If any one of those
