My numbers are rounded down...by Anonymous Monk |

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I'm trying to do some mathematical operations, but my numbers are mistreated. For example:. 123 ** 17 should be: 337587917446653715596592958817679803 But in PERL it isn't. So, how do I approach this. Maybe with Math:BigInt? But, it doesn't seem to work (I get NaN (not a number) stuff). I need detailed instructions, since I'm a dummy and all.
