pack does not support Q, but perl supports 64 bit scalars
Which perl version are you using? Hardy or intrepid? Is there an updated
hardy version available somewhere, so that I can test it as well?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue
for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

2**38 is not 4294967295 - it's 274877906944
The internal Int size of your perl is 32bits.
I agree tho - Q should work, regardless of what your int size is.

To handle 64 bit ints, Perl would have needed to be configured correctly
to handle it. A perl -V would help to answer that question.

That's what I'm saying. pack and unpackt don't handle 64 bits.
The internal Int size of your perl is 32bits.
No, that's not true. Look at my first example, it gives the correct
