without using bignum the script works fine, but the factorials become #INF at 143!

Most likely this is because not all elements in your calculations are Math::Complex objects, especially the constants. I would try to convert all elements to Math::Complex objects, or remove all Math::Complex calculations in favor of Math::BigInt. I'm not sure what part Math::Complex plays in your calculations. Maybe you can eliminate Math::Complex in favor of number pairs, `(Math::BigInt, Math::BigInt)`, to denote the real and imaginary parts.	[reply] [d/l]
