Re^9: All Calculations Done with One Variable Give Integer Answers

Thanks! That's a big help! I can also see if I can limit the scope to just the subroutines that need to use that. I still have to go through the entire module to see why I was using BigInt. I can't remember if it was one or two routines or a number of them.

But why does this still have an effect on any math done with that variable even when BigInt shouldn't apply?

In the test code you have posted `IntTest.pm`, if you change your constants `1900` and `60` to `1900.0` and `60.0`, your problem is fixed as well. This is because `use Math::BigInt ':constant';` only applies to integer constants. This could be one way to limit the scope.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
