[FWP] Fwd: How to define 1024-bit integer

[Jeff Yoak <jeff@yoak.com>]

All,

I maintain a little one-way mailing service that sends out a randomly 
selected question / answer pair from the Perl FAQ daily.  ( 
http://perl.faq-by-day.org/ ) .  The address that these messages are from 
is repliable and I get a fair number of questions sent to me by people who 
don't understand that the list is broadcast-only.

The fact that this person provided an example tickled me enough that I 
thought I'd share.
