nope, already tested.

  DB<112> $val=12143951645
 => "12143951645"

  DB<113> sprintf("%11u", $val);
 => " 4294967295"

It also seems that `use bigint;` does not affect `sprintf`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

This would surprise me otherwise ... IIRC did bigint operate with tied and blessed variables and overloaded operators. Now sprintf is not an operator. And "(signed) integer" is well defined, changing this opens new problems. Of course you are free to overwrite &CORE::sprintf. I'm too lazy to check CPAN now! =) Cheers Rolf ( addicted to the Perl Programming Language)	[reply]
