in thread Algorithm for cancelling common factors between two lists of multiplicands

Coming up with an efficient, pure perl implementation of prime factorisation (limiting myself to integers 0 .. 2**32 ) is my current fun challenge :)
You might have a look at Math::Big::Factors, which I found useful, and is pure Perl. (Note that the docs have a typo, and mention factor_wheel where the function is actually named factors_wheel.)
