Re^6: Exasperated with 64-bit integer builds of perl

I should have mentioned pack("Q", $string)

Doesn't seem to DWIM:

C:\_64>perl -e "$_=unpack('Q',pack('Q','1.44115188075868217e+017'));pr
+int"
144115188075868224
C:\_64>
[download]

I believe it just packs the NV into the quad.

Cheers,
Rob

Hmmm, then that leaves me with one last suggestion: Math::BigFloat and Math::BigInt. __________________________________________________________________________________ ^M Free your mind!	[reply]
