Hello Gurus, i have a long integer which i want to convert to hexadecimal. When i try to convert the integer to hexadecimal beyond certain digits, it gives the value as 'ffffff' 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl

$intval = 3143230627;
$hexval = sprintf ("%x", $intval);
printf "value of $intval : $hexval \n";

$intval = 123143230627;
$hexval = sprintf ("%x", $intval);
printf "value of $intval : $hexval \n";

The output 
> ./t.pl
value of 3143230627 : bb59e4a3
value of 123143230627 : ffffffff

any help will be appreciated. Note: would like to use inbuilt functions or modules, because any other module installation will be unacceptable to the project. cheers, M
