64 bit integers
When i try to use a 64 bit integer, dbix insists on treating it in
numerical context, and changes it to floating point (because perl doesn't
support 64 bit integers, even though mysql does). Is there a known fix for
this? (I'm using DBIx-Recordset-0.24.) Please cc me, since I'm not
subscribed.
Thanks,
Josh

Thanks for the patch. Looks ok.

Useing Math::BigInt would create a dependency that most people don't use. I
didn't have looked at ginint in perl5.8, so I can't say anything about it...

I'm enclosing a script which displays the bug,
and a gross patch which fixes it.
The patch just makes dbix treat bigints as non-numeric.
Maybe it would be better to use Math::BigInt,
or transparent bigint in perl5.8?

I haven't hit that problem in the instance where we are using them,
but we're zero-filling the fields, which might be the difference.
I'd be interested in what you find out though, since we're using them
for ids, and I'm concerned about what's going to happen when they do
exceed 32bit limits.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
