Re^3: Division of big integers

I think, the conversation would have unfolded differently. But it's New Year's Eve, so let's party. Btw I haven't started learning Python yet. First I want to become a lot more familiar with Perl. I might learn Python one day, but I keep putting it off. Honestly, I hate its syntax.

One thing I was maybe wrong about was BigInt not working for TinyPerl. I assumed it would need a .dll that didn't ship with TinyPerl, but LanX pointed out that Perl's Math::BigInt is in fact pure-perl, so you just need to put the 5.8 version of Math/BigInt.pm file (and maybe bigint.pm for the pragma) in your lib path and it might just work. Part of my joke is that you have the full version of Python installed but only half of Perl installed... so you might reconsider your motivations for that some time. Yes Perl comes with a lot of bloat modules, but I wouldn't classify BigInt or BigFloat or BigRat as part of the "bloat".	[reply]

"from a 10 km above perspective Perl and Python are the same language" Now that we have the year 2025 I might need to create an animated GIF of the video to spread the "news". :) Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) see Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]
