Re: 'use bignum' scoping question

Hi,

from perldoc bignum:


Please note the following does not work as expected (prints nothing), 
+since overloading of '..' is not yet possible in Perl (as of v5.8.0):

        perl -Mbignum -le 'for (1..2) { print ref($_); }'
[download]

this works:

for my $num (2..2) {
    $s = sqrt($num * 1);
    print Dumper(\$s);
}
[download]

Cheers, Christoph

And so does `for my $num (2..2) { $s = sqrt(Math::BigFloat->new($num)); print Dumper(\$s); }` [download] That's what bignum does to constants.	[reply] [d/l]
