in reply to Converting Hexadecimal to Decimal notation and vice-versa

I think pack could take care of this as well.

UPDATE: Here's an example1:

$int = unpack("N", pack("H8", substr("0" x 8 . "DEADBEEF", -8)));

[download]
$dec = sprintf("%d", $int);

Where DEADBEEF is your hex number.

    But how does this apply to the big integers of the OP? 
    >perl -wMstrict -le
"my $int = unpack('N', pack('H8', '102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f'));
 my $dec = sprintf('%d', $int);
 print $dec;

      Specify a different template for sprintf?

      mtfnpy
