..unfortunately, simply using the "use bignum" still didn't produce the precision that the "Mbigum=a,50" produced - I'll continue to try different options....	[reply]

`-Mbigum=a,50` is actually `use bignum a => 50;`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

..thanks - however, I put the "use bignum => 50" line of code before the "print hex("0xbe91cfb586466d02"),"\n";" statement and it still didn't give me the precision that the -Mbignum=a,50 gave me - I must be missing something - does the "print hex" have to be somehow part of the "use bignum" option? ..again, thanks for any insights...
