The constructor requires a number and won't accept a scalar; otherwise, I think that you did a good job on it.
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Test::More tests => 11; use Math::BigInt upgrade => 'Math::BigFloat'; use Math::BigFloat; BEGIN { use_ok( 'Math::BigInt' ); use_ok( 'Math::BigFloat' ); } note 'Math tests'; my $bf = 'Math::BigFloat'; for ( my $i = 1; $i < 1000000000; $i *= 10 ) { $bf = Math::BigFloat->new(1); $bf->precision(-2); my $xpect = ($bf > 1 ? '3' x (scalar($bf->length) - 1) : 0) . '.33'; is $bf->bdiv(3), $xpect, $i . ' / 3 = ' . $xpect; }
