Hello,

I'm porting a program from php to perl and discovered, that the bitwise
operator & seems to work differently, which I don't understand why.

I tested it with the values:

a=5543039447 and b=13

Then in perl the expressions:

$result= ($z & $a);

returns 2147483648.

But in php the same expression returns zero. Why is that and how can I
fix it?!
