Hello to everyone, In the documentation of Math::BigInt it's mentioned that it can work with numbers that have thousands od digits. Though, i ran to a slight proplem with the following code :

...
 my ($in_out) = @_;
 my ($out,$diver,$grade) = split(/,/, $in_out, 3);
 my $in = Math::BigInt->new(($out)**(1/$grade)*$diver);
...

when $in_out is 2.84894533078051,5,0.002 , but when i try to print $in, i get : 
10990761002367800000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
0000000000000000000000000000000000

my first question is WHY ?
and the second question is how do i make it print the real reasult which should be : 
10990761002372220870980990761002372220870980980980990761002372220
