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'
#!/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";
The output
> ./t.pl
value of 3143230627 : bb59e4a3
value of 123143230627 : ffffffff
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

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
