[comp.lang.perl] How to handle 32-bit unsigned integers in Perl?

aks@hub.ucsb.edu (Alan Stebbens) (08/08/90)

It appears that the ">>" operator does arithmetic shifts.  How can I do
an unsigned shift?  Do I have to test the sign bit first, then clear it,
before shifting, or is there another way?

Signed, frustrated :^)
