 If you get tired of being subject to your platform's native integers,
 the S<C<use bigint>> pragma neatly sidesteps the issue altogether:
 
     print 20 << 20;  # 20971520
-    print 20 << 40;  # 5120 on 32-bit machines,
-                     # 21990232555520 on 64-bit machines
+    print 20 << 32;  # 0 with 32-bit integer,
+                     # 85899345920 with 64-bit integer
     use bigint;
     print 20 << 100; # 25353012004564588029934064107520
