You're like a coiled snake

Oh. Just go away. Ie. Mind your own business, and I'll mind mine.

For the record: This:

What seems strange to me is that you want more performance than you can get using any of the generic big integer modules, yet you still want to do individual integer operations in perl, as opposed to using higher level functions written in C, such as a cryptographic library or a library for numerical vectors.

is not "curiosity". it is erroneously assumptive--I never mentioned "performance", nor "cryptography"; nor "numerical vectors"(whatever they are!!!).--, crassly presumptive, and prematurely judgemental.

I thought I remembered seeing a 128-bit integer library, but when I went looking for it, I couldn't find it. So I asked if anyone knew of it. Full f**ing stop.

The above paragraph turns idle curiosity into puerile judgementalism.

And your intervention is nothing more than opportunistic bandwagon riding. Your pseudo-psychoanalysis via the internet has the same merit as those charlatans that claim to speak to the dead.

I am perfectly capable at deciding how I want to expend my intellectual energies. Perfectly adept at judging the technical merits of fixed-width integer operations versus arbitrary precision. And perfectly capable of deciding for myself whether I wish to use this place as an extension of my social life, or as a technical resource.

To summarise. Stuff that in your pipe and smoke on it.
