Re^3: decimal to binary conversion need help

I don't know what the restrictions are with "use bigint", but it dosn't give the same result.???? Differ by 1.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Math::BigInt;

my $bignum = Math::BigInt->new(9007199254740991);
print $bignum->as_bin(),"\n";

######################################################## 

use bigint;

my $bignum = 9007199254740991;
print $bignum->as_bin(),"\n";

__END__

Oops, I guess BigInt wants a string, not a number. `my $bignum = Math::BigInt->new('9007199254740991'); print $bignum->as_bin(),"\n"; ######################################################## use bigint; my $bignum = 9007199254740991; print $bignum->as_bin(),"\n";` [download] #Correct results: `0b11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 0b11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111` [download] I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. flash japh	[reply] [d/l] [select]
