in reply to Converting Hexadecimal to Decimal notation and vice-versa

It works for me (once I've fixed the errors in your posted code):

use strict;
use warnings;

use Math::BigInt;   # Missing from your posted code

my $x_dec = Math::BigInt->from_hex("0x000102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f
+");

print $x_dec, "\n"; # Not $x, as in your posted code

# Output:
5233100606242806050955395731361295

    Hi, thanks.
    We had an older version of Math::BigInt and that is why it seems it could not locate method from_hex.
    How do I convert a huge integer to hexadecimal using Math::BigInt?

        Hi,
        I tried the following and I got 'NaN' as the result.
        #!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
package main;
use Math::BigInt;
my $gene_sample_101dcef = Math::BigInt->as_hex("5555181933400000000066
+6");
print $gene_sample_101dcef,"\n";
