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

["Pense, Joachim" <joachim.pense@eds.com>]

Hi!
Lisp handles arbitrary large integers (or at least many flavors of it do).
And in Perl there are
http://search.cpan.org/doc/TELS/Math-1.31/lib/Math/Big.pm,
http://search.cpan.org/doc/TELS/Math-1.31/lib/Math/BigInt.pm, and so on.

(BTW I Use your Daily FAQ service for a long time now, and I am very pleased
of it).

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.
