Hi I have been trying to performing some math op after converting the number to hex(since I need to print it in hex) before doing some math on it, but to no avail. Here's the snippet. 
    $b_ecc = $b_ecc->as_hex();
    $bmask = $bmask->as_hex();
    $bigint_data = $bigint_data->as_hex();
    print "$bigint_data, $bmask, $b_ecc\n";
    $count_xor+=1 if($b_ecc->is_odd());

And I get this error instead:

Can't call method "is_odd" without a package or object reference at blah in line 21

Something I am missing here. Works fine, if I don't covert it to int. I have alternative methods to get around this, but would like to understand the problem though.
