Maybe perl should warn about this

The more I think about it, the less I like the idea of a warning for what is just platform specific behaviour.

There's that "non-portable" warning about integers > 2**32 that pops up on 64-bit platforms; it just bugs me.

I think the simplest solution is the best here: just add a note about it to the stat docs.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

The start of some sanity?
