Re: Difference between Perl and Java for << operator?

Don't know much about Java, but

How can a negative result be considered expected?

I think you should take care that both sides are unsigned integers of same size.

FWIW I don't get your Perl result

  DB<16> say $x= 0xFFFFFFFF << 28

so 64bit Perl seems to matter too.
