Of course. '2 & anything' will yield 2 for any even 'anything', and 0 for
any odd 'anything'. See perlop.

The answer to the question you posed in the Subject is:
print '(2 & (1 * (2**32)))';
> The result is 2 ??
And the answer to that question is yes.
If these answers are not satisfactory, it is because your questions
aren't very clear. Can you help us help you by being more clear in what
you're asking?

It sounds like there was something wrong with the ppd file you were trying
to install, which isn't a reflection on the PPM program itself. As John
noted in his follow-up, the file appears to have been replaced now.
The next time you have a problem like this, try running a search first. You
might find that you're able to install the previous version of the module
(there are usually a couple of versions of a module available). You can
always upgrade later when the problem gets fixed.
You'll also eventually find that not all Perl modules can be installed from
the default repositories (or sometimes not at all even adding other
repositories); it all depends on whether a ppd file has been created. It's
times like those that you have to go to the CPAN shell on Windows.

MSVC++6.0 (which is the recommended Microsoft compiler to use with
ActiveState perl) is *not* freely available. There is certainly a free
version of the Microsoft C/C++ compiler and you can seek out and download
all of the bits and pieces if you so desire - and use it to build your own
perl. But it's not a good idea to use *that* compiler with ActiveState-built
perl.
By contrast, MinGW and dmake are straightforward downloads (and work easily
with ActiveState perl if you don't want to use them to build your own perl).
I recommend that approach ahead of the free Microsoft C/C++ compiler (mainly
on the bases of ease of installation, and milage) ... but no-one is under
any obligation to take any notice of what I recommend.
Cheers,
Rob

They were having trouble with their server - as I posted 3 or 4 days ago.
It seems to be fixed now.

That is mathematically impossible you know.
You will be working on it for a long long time, and never have it right.

Yes, parsing a Context Free language using a Regular grammar
is simply not possible.
(but Perl's regular expressions aren't actually "regular" at all.)

Take a look at the HTML that's returned. The data is generated from
