perlquestion perl_fan Hello Gurus, i have a long integer which i want to convert to hexadecimal. When i try to convert the integer to hexadecimal beyond certain digits, it gives the value as 'ffffff' <code> #!/usr/local/bin/perl $intval = 3143230627; $hexval = sprintf ("%x", $intval); printf "value of $intval : $hexval \n"; $intval = 123143230627; $hexval = sprintf ("%x", $intval); printf "value of $intval : $hexval \n"; </code> The output <code> > ./t.pl value of 3143230627 : bb59e4a3 value of 123143230627 : ffffffff </code> any help will be appreciated. Note: would like to use inbuilt functions or modules, because any other module installation will be unacceptable to the project. cheers, M
