But why would you recommend bigint rather than Math::BigInt in this case???

I'm looking for a job.

    I have no reason; I grabbed the first one I found. If other "big math" modules work as well, great!

      bigint is a viral make-everything-a-Math::BigInt layer for Math::BigInt; if you don't want that (and usually you don't), selectively using Math::BigInt->new('string-of-digits') to get an overloaded object is a lot less intrusive.
