 How can I port the php code, which return 0 (zero), and looks exactly
 like this:
 
 <?php
 $a = 5543039447;
 $b = 2147483648;
 $result = ($a & $b);
 echo  "$result\n" ;
 ?>
 
 to perl? In perl almost the exactly same code:
 
 #!/usr/bin/perl
 $a = 5543039447;
 $b = 2147483648;
 $result = ($a & $b);
 print  "$result\n" ;
 
 returns 2147483648.
 
 How do I have to modify the perl code, so that it will actually do a
 bitwise and? I don't get - any workaround? Somethings I'm not getting
 here? I'm using linux debian/sarge with an intel 32 bit prozessor.
