From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Leblanc, Larry Sent: 23 May 2008 00:35 To: [email protected] Subject: UInt32 cast as SInt32
> G'day, > > When attempting to retrieve an unsigned, integer (UInt32) value from winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2\Win32_Share.Type > (i.e. WMI), Perl is returning incorrect values (ex.: -2147483648 when I should be getting 2147483648 or > -2147483645 instead of 2147483651). > > This obviously has to do with Perl incorrectly casting the resulting value as a signed integer (i.e. SInt32), > instead of an unsigned integer (i.e. UInt32). Is there a way to tell Perl to cast the variable as UInt32? > > The platform is Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition, SP2, running ActivePerl v5.8.8.822. Could you please post a small, self-contained script that demonstrates the problem.
