Hi,

from perldoc bignum:


Please note the following does not work as expected (prints nothing), 
+since overloading of '..' is not yet possible in Perl (as of v5.8.0):

        perl -Mbignum -le 'for (1..2) { print ref($_); }'
[download]

this works:

for my $num (2..2) {
    $s = sqrt($num * 1);
    print Dumper(\$s);
}
[download]

Cheers, Christoph

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
