in thread Hex String XOR

Note that this solution too is limited by the size of the biggest integer you can store in a perl scalar, which is usally 52 bit from the mantissa of a double precision floating point, or 64 bit for an integer on 64bit platforms (not sure about the sign, so could be 63 usable bits for this purpose).
