Re^3: Will Perl Scripts written on 64 Bit Windows run fine on 32 bit as well?by BrowserUk (Patriarch) |

I have discovered the hard way, 'pack/unpack' functions for 64 bit do not operate on 32 bit machines. I thought I'd covered that with "and (may) only support 32-bit integers.". I was trying to put a floating point number into a "Q" format (64bit integer) but on the 32 bit machine it threw an exception. Putting a floating point number into an integer makes no sense to me at all? I'm surprised you got an "exception". If I try to use 'Q' on my 32-bit installation, it simply tells me that it is invalid:

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
