Today, deMize asked in the chatterbox how to convert the number 4335043554366887798866555766 to hexadecimal. One solution is of course to use dc:
The easiest perl solution is probably to use the Math::BigInt module:
But here's another, more complicated solution.
Update: deleted the unnecessary sub from the code. Update 2011-03-18: see also Re: Module for 128-bit integer math? for a list of bigint modules. Update 2012-08-25: see also Re: Zeckendorf representation for another conversion, this time to a more unusual number system.
