Hi BR. Thanks for the reply. The used of chinese as an instruction works in my code, the result is a long number, 954846259588805228035541587771, much greater than 2^64. My question is how to ensure that the result is used properly throughout any programming thereafter, and how the result is shown using print or printf.

using the instruction print $crt1 -> bdstr(); produces the same result as the say instruction, which makes me think that probably $crt1 is being used correctly, but how can that instruction be used with a more complex print or printf line, whose output reads "crt solution is (put correct long number here)". Below is proof that the use of bdstr works 

#!/usr/bin/env perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Math::BigFloat lib=>"GMP";
use Math::Prime::Util qw/:all/;
use Math::BigInt qw/:constant/;
use feature ':5.10';

my $crt1=chinese([1,2],[1,3],[1,5],[5,7],[4,11],[9,13],[0,17],[14,19],
+[22,23],[28,29],[28,31],[27,37],[3,41],[15,43],[9,47],[51,53],[55,59]
+,[35,61],[17,67],[35,71],[67,73],[28,79]);

say $crt1;
print $crt1 -> bdstr();
