The problem only(*) occurs with 32-bit perls:

C:\test>type CIDRtest.pl #! perl -slw use strict; use integer; for my $n ( 0 .. 31 ) { my $addr = (1 << $n) + 1; printf "\r%u", $addr; my $nbits = 32; while( 1 ) { my $bit = ( $addr & 0x80000000 ) >> 31; die "$addr -> $bit" if $bit != 0 and $bit != 1; $addr <<= 1; last unless --$nbits; } } C:\test>CIDRtest.pl 2147483649 C:\test>\perl32\bin\perl.exe CIDRtest.pl -2147483648 -> -1 at CIDRtest.pl line 11. 2

(*Or 64-bit perls, but with much higher numbers.)


With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
