Can I ask how you are arriving at these huge numbers in your program?

    Sure. I'm just playing around with some algorithmic approaches to bound some algorithmic complexities. I could have easily left things in a higher-order notation, but since it's just for fun anyway, I wanted to see how far I could push the boundaries of Perl's large number support.

    In other words, I often permit myself to get sidetracked when I'm already sidetracked for fun anyway. :-)
