Re: Problem with Math::BigInt::Named

Math::BigInt::Named needs version 1.78 of Math::BigInt. I have only version 1.77 of M::BI ... and I get the same errors as you. I haven't upgraded M::BI to 1.78 to check that it fixes the problem, but I strongly suspect that's all that's wrong.

Cheers,
Rob

Well, a peek into the source as I have it doesn't seem to show that `M::BI::N` needs any particular version of `M::BI` and also, in my case: `C:\>perl -MMath::BigInt=9999 Math::BigInt version 9999 required--this is only version 1.87 at C:/Pr +ogrammi/Pe rl/lib/Exporter/Heavy.pm line 121. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.` [download] OTOH `C:\>perl -MMath::BigInt -e "Math::BigInt->new(42)" Math::BigInt::FastCalc is missing method '_from_oct' at -e line 0 Cannot load outdated Math::BigInt::FastCalc v0.10, please upgrade at - +e line 0` [download] So I'd better upgrade anyway. This still doesn't explain why the `new()` method can't be found... Update: I upgraded Math::BigInt::FastCalc and the problem with `M::BI` went away. That with `M::BI::N` stays though.

OTOH

C:\>perl -MMath::BigInt -e "Math::BigInt->new(42)"
Math::BigInt::FastCalc is missing method '_from_oct' at -e line 0
Cannot load outdated Math::BigInt::FastCalc v0.10, please upgrade at -

So I'd better upgrade anyway. This still doesn't explain why the new() method can't be found...
