in thread Can I access and use UV types from perl?

The main sense I am getting from this, is that Perl is all about the storage.

My sense is that Perl is all about the DWIM. What I haven't seen so far (and apologies if I've missed it) is where your problem lies. Here's a simple example:

#!/usr/bin/env perl 
use strict;
use warnings;

use Test::More tests => 1;

my $x = 3;
my $y = 2;
is $x + $y, 5, 'Yes, your integers behave exactly as expected';

What else do you expect to happen?

    well, and this may a little bit controversial, but...

    #!perl 
use strict;
use warnings;

use Test::More tests => 1;

my $x = 5;
my $y = 3;
is $x / $y, undef, 'Yes, your integers behave exactly as expected';

=head1 output

1..1
not ok 1 - yes your integers behave as expected
#   Failed test 'yes your integers behave as expected'
#   at -e line 1.
#          got: '1.66666666666667'
#     expected: undef
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 1.

      This is what I would tend to expect (using integer): 

      c:\@Work\Perl\monks>perl -le
"use strict;
 use warnings;
 ;;
 use integer;
 ;;
 use Test::More tests => 2;
 ;;
 my $x = 5;
 my $y = 3;
 ;;
 is $x / $y, 1, qq{$x / $y == 1 is expected};
 is $y / $x, 0, qq{$y / $x == 0 is expected};
"
1..2
ok 1 - 5 / 3 == 1 is expected
ok 2 - 3 / 5 == 0 is expected

        You got me here, the documentation for the pragma does describe that expected behaviour.
