How about a roll-you-own binary string to base converter?
our $ZERO = Math::BigInt->new(0); our $ONE = $ZERO + 1; # Convert a bitstring (only 1s and 0s) to a number, # as if it were a representation of the given base. sub bitstring_to_base { my $result = $ZERO; my $pow = $ONE; for my $bit (reverse split '', $_[0]) { $result += $pow if $bit; $pow *= $_[1]; } return $result; } # Skips over 0 and 1. sub make_iter { my ($base) = @_; my $num = Math::BigInt->new(1); return sub { $num->binc; return Math::BigInt->new( bitstring_to_base($num->as_bin() =~ s/^0?b//r, $base) ); }; }

Also, the line in make_iter could take a value other than 1, as a power-of-ten starting point in a search:

my $num = Math::BigInt->new("1" . ("0" x (ARGV[1] // 0)));
