Re: Integer overflow in -s or file stat results

Maybe something involving syscall?

[Anonymous Monk]

Says it's not implemented in VMS, but you might try calling syscall() with no args just to see what happens. Other than that, I think you'd need to use XS.

Thank you for your answer.

It confirms that syscall is not implemented with a one-liner test:

The syscall function is unimplemented at -e line 1.

I will not try to write XS code under VMS, my knowledge of the VMS internals is much too poor. I guess I'll have to live with the work around described earlier.

Thank you anyway for your effort.
