in reply to convert longIP to stringIP

This "longIP" is a valid IP already. You probably do not need to convert it.

Converting it is easy if you tread the IP as an IP :) 

use Socket qw(inet_aton inet_ntoa);
print inet_ntoa(inet_aton('2130706433'));

      Try this: 

      use Socket qw(inet_aton inet_ntoa);
my $num = -1675066731;
print inet_ntoa(inet_aton(hex(sprintf "%x", $num)));
