in thread e with continued fractions

On Perl 5.8.1 (Mac OS X 10.3.4) this doesn't seem to use bigint (as you apparently intended) unless I remove the =>.

Update: OK, you fooled me. Good obfuscation, then!

    I use 5.6.x so don't actually have bigint. This is called obfuscation after all :-) The reason it does not work is that => is just a synonym for , in Perl so it reads use, bigint Or it should. Actually that , syntax parses as an error, whereas => syntax is OK GOK?

    C:\>type test.pl use, strict C:\>perl -MO=Deparse test.pl syntax error at test.pl line 1, near "use," test.pl had compilation errors. C:\>type test.pl use => strict C:\>perl -MO=Deparse test.pl '???', '???'; test.pl syntax OK C:\>

    cheers
