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. -- pack does not support Q, but perl supports 64 bit scalars https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/83461 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
