Note that this is not a (real) answer to your question, but some (side)notes ...

If you use use strict; use warnings;, you would get this warning:

Hexadecimal number > 0xffffffff non-portable at test.pl line 9

Of course with the name of your script and the location of that 0xf...

But when using large numbers like that, I'd advice to use decimal notation instead of hexadecimal, just for portability.

Than it depends on your perl being compiled with -Duse64bitint or another (default) option that causes IV's (perl internal integers) allow 64bit data. That is easy to check though:

$ perl -V:ivsize ivsize='8'; $ perl -wle'print 1152921504606846975' 1152921504606846975 $ perl -wle'printf "%x\n", 1152921504606846975' fffffffffffffff

Compare to a perl with 32bit IV's:

$ gperl32 -V:ivsize ivsize='4'; $ gperl32 -wle'print 1152921504606846975' 1.15292150460685e+18 $ gperl32 -wle'printf "%x\n", 1152921504606846975' ffffffff

Maybe this helps on the short term:

use 5.18.2; use warnings; $|++; srand 54321; say "One rand"; for (1 .. 20) { my $n = int rand 1152921504606846975; printf "\r%064b %016X\n", $n, $n; } say "Two rands"; for (1 .. 20) { my ($n1, $n2) = map { int rand 0xffff_ffff } 0, 1; my $n = unpack "Q>", pack "L>L>", $n1, $n2; printf "\r%064b %016X\n", $n, $n; }

->
