     PATCH: [perl #128738] Large code pt as string delim
     
     The bug here is simply an I32 was used when an IV was needed.
     
     One could argue that the parser should refuse to
     accept something larger than an IV.  I chose not to do that, as this is
     a deprecated usage, which generates a warning by default and will be a
     syntax error anyway in a future release.
