Ok, I found another one, though I'm not quite sure what the problem is
$ perl -e "print pack 'Q',1" Invalid type 'Q' in pack at -e line 1.
In perl\win32\config.h I have
/* HAS_QUAD: * This symbol, if defined, tells that there's a 64-bit integer typ +e, * Quad_t, and its unsigned counterpart, Uquad_t. QUADKIND will be +one * of QUAD_IS_INT, QUAD_IS_LONG, QUAD_IS_LONG_LONG, or QUAD_IS_INT6 +4_T. */ #define HAS_QUAD /**/ #ifdef HAS_QUAD # define Quad_t long long /**/ # define Uquad_t unsigned long long /**/ # define QUADKIND 3 /**/ # define QUAD_IS_INT 1 # define QUAD_IS_LONG 2 # define QUAD_IS_LONG_LONG 3 # define QUAD_IS_INT64_T 4 #endif
And it seems to have made it into Config
$ perl "-V:.*?quad.*?" d_quad='define'; quadkind='3'; quadtype='long long'; uquadtype='unsigned long long';
So q/Q for pack/unpack should work, right?
