Re^3: big integers forcing me to be a C programmer: "range iterator outside integer range"

The direct equivalent works just fine

I was thinking that the "direct equivalent" would be:

my $x = Math::BigInt->new(2**1024);

bignum converts every numeric literal into a Math::Big* object. That would even include the "2" in the for loop, although that one can also be skipped.	[reply]
