Large log files

Does anybody out there work with large access log files...like in the
1GB or more range?  I am having problems with my output in the Daily
Stats Section.  When the bytes get too high, the numbers turn negative.
I assume that this is because the number exceeds half of the allocated
bits for the variable, thus turning the number negative.  Does anybody
know how to make the variable a long int or a float in perl?  (sorry,
C-programmer here :) )  Is that my problem?
