in reply to Re^5: Largest integer in 64-bit perl
in thread Largest integer in 64-bit perl

Out of pure curiosity: What are you all working on that requires integers bigger than 64 bit? So far, the only cases i could think of are things like black holes and possibly simulating nuclear explosions down to subatomic particles.

(I'm working mostly with boring financial data. If 64 bit is ever insufficient, something inflationary has probably gone very, very wrong. Or my software is used in Zimbabwe. Same thing, really...)
