in thread perl 5.14.0-RC1 is available for testing!

So q/Q for pack/unpack should work, right?

On the basis of what you've shown us, that is right.
What's your full perl -V output ?

    Difference from BrowserUks -V is presence of use64bitint=define, but HAVE_QUAD doesn't appear to depend on it.

    The other difference is I'm using gcc on 32bit OS, but I have 64-bit processor, but I think it should still work :)

    I'm recompiling now, will update with full -V.

    update:

    update: well, use64bitint=define seems to make Q/q available, and the simple test matches BrowserUks results.

    update: hmm, it compiles, Q/q is available, but some failing tests, awww :)

    And the other new test failures Oh well :) Thanks

      Getting proper quad and 64-bit int support for that particular mix is largely "unchartered waters", afaik. I believe it should be do-able (and do-able also with a 32-bit processor), but I know how to achieve it only with a 64-bit compiler and a 64-bit processor.
      As you've discovered, there's a bit more involved than just getting %Config to report what you want it to.
