=item Binary number > 0b11111111111111111111111111111111 non-portable
-(W) The binary number you specified is larger than 2**32-1 and
-therefore non-portable between systems. If you know that your code is
-always going to be used only in systems that have more than 32-bit
-integers (which means that Perl should be able to use such), you can
-silence this warning by
-
- {
- no warning 'unsafe';
- .... your code here ...

+(W) The binary number you specified is larger than 2**32-1
+(4294967295) and therefore non-portable between systems. See

-(W) The hexadecimal number you specified is larger than 2**32-1 and

=item Identifier too long
=item Integer overflow in %s number
-(F,X) The hexadecimal, octal or binary number you have specified
-either as a literal in your code or as a scalar is too big for your
-architecture. On a 32-bit architecture the largest literal hex, octal
-or binary number representable without overflow is 0xFFFFFFFF,
-037777777777, or 0b11111111111111111111111111111111 respectively.
-Note that Perl transparently promotes decimal literals to a floating
-point representation internally--subject to loss of precision errors
-in subsequent operations--so this limit usually doesn't apply to
-decimal literals. If the overflow is in a literal of your code, the
-error is untrappable (there is no way the code could work safely in
-your system), if the overflow happens in hex() or oct() the error is
-trappable.
+(W) The hexadecimal, octal or binary number you have specified either
+as a literal in your code or as a scalar is too big for your
+architecture, and has been converted to a floating point number. On a
+32-bit architecture the largest hexadecimal, octal or binary number
+representable without overflow is 0xFFFFFFFF, 037777777777, or
+0b11111111111111111111111111111111 respectively. Note that Perl
+transparently promotes all numbers to a floating point representation
+internally--subject to loss of precision errors in subsequent
+operations.
