sure, why not introducing one more level of cryptic workarounds to justify perl's reputation of a line-noise-language instead of having self explanatory constants? you know, I linked to the docs, the explanation, and the inf constant exporters (bigrat/bigint ) perl is fundamentally what it is, and it works the way it has for over a decade, if you don't like it, don't use it; calling it line-noise and cryptic at every turn is uninspired and uninteresting update: well ... no comment on the fact of an AnoMonk who can update his nodes ...;-) Boring :/
