Re^2: Extra Long HEX to Decimal Converion Issue on Select Platforms

Okay, so what I ended up doing was:

my $n = Math::BigInt->new('0x3BFA281009296F2');
my $manufacturer = sprintf("%010s", $n->bstr );
[download]

I uploaded the revised module and hopefully this time it passes on all systems.

Thanks for the help!

Curiously, this works, too: `my $n = Math::BigInt->new('0x3BFA281009296F2'); my $manufacturer = sprintf "%010s", $n;` [download] So the temp variable `$n` can be eliminated: `my $manufacturer = sprintf "%010s", Math::BigInt->new('0x3BFA281009296F2');` [download] I didn't test this on multiple platforms. I'm only pointing it out because I noticed an allusion to it in the Math::BigInt documentation. Jim	[reply] [d/l] [select]
