in thread Pragma clash across modules: bignum and Math::BigFloat

The problem is that bignum is arcane and weird. Your solution is to make it more arcane and weird. IMO the right solution is to make it less arcane and weird: just have it convert all numbers to BigFloats. All this upgrading and downgrading between BigInts and BigFloats is a silly waste of time.

    My "solution" is one possible workaround to fix legacy code, involving hinthashes like documented in perlpragma

    You on the other side don't provide any solution.

    You just say don't use this and consequently other selfmade pragmas.

      And here we go with the PerlMonks contentiousness. You won't admit that any point of view other than yours might have merit. You're going to cling to your solution no matter how much complexity you have to pile on top of complexity to make it "work." Bah. This is why I don't log in here any more.

        That's obviously wrong I don't cling to my proposition, I'm just waiting for any other technical contribution.

        Yeah, trolling is much harder if people are recognizing you.
