perlquestion QM [cpan://Math::BigInt] <code>new</code> does something funny when creating a new object from an existing <code>Math::BigInt</code> object: <code> #!perl use strict; use warnings; use Math::BigInt; my $x = new Math::BigInt 27; my $y = $x->new(44); # this is the funny bit my $z = Math::BigInt->new(99); exit; </code> <br> From the debugger, this is what <code>$y</code> is: <code> DB<1> x $y 0 27=HASH(0x14f15ac) 'sign' => '+' 'value' => ARRAY(0xbc9cd4) 0 44 </code> <br> Why is the class now '27'? And a <code>print</code> on <code>$y</code> gives: <code> DB<2> p $y 27=HASH(0x14f15ac) </code> <br> While the 'value' is right, any further operations with <code>$y</code> are wrong. <p> <b>Update:</b> Bug reported [rt://79902|here]. <div class="pmsig"><div class="pmsig-294463"> <p>-QM<br /> --<br /> Quantum Mechanics: The dreams stuff is made of </div></div>
