My test cases pass now.  The output looks good to me.

:-  $len++ unless not($msb) == not($neg);
:+  $len++ if $neg ? !$msb : $msb;

It took running this through perl a few times for me to figure out
what the difference was.  Truly insidious.  I almost never use the
"named" versions of operators, so I had forgotten about their lower
precedence.
