In this particular case just print is ok:

D:\>perl -le "$_=23232363283842;print"
23232363283842
[download]

But this doesn't:

D:\>perl -le "$_=23232363283842232;print"
2.32323632838422e+016
[download]

and in such case I would try to split to groups of digits:

$_=23232363283842232;
while($_)
{
  unshift @a, sprintf"%06d", $_%1e6;
  $_=int($_/1e6);
}
$a[0]%=1e6;
print@a

Result:

D:\>perl -le "$_=23232363283842232;while($_) { unshift@a,sprintf\"%06d
+\",$_%1e6;
$_=int($_/1e6); } $a[0]%=1e6;print@a"
23232363283842232

Update: It will work correctly for 0, but for negative integers one must change the input int to opposite and store the minus sign in variable to print it later.

$sign="";
if($_<0)
{
$_=-$_;
$sign="-";
}

...and at the end

print $sign,@a
