    MOIN,

ZEFRAM WAS SO KIND TO TEST MATH::BIGINT AND FRIENDS ON PERL V5.6 AND V5.6.1 
IN DIFFERENT CONSTELLATIONS AND REPORT THEY ALL WORK FINE.

THE ATTACHED PATCHES THUS DO:

* LOWER THE REQUIREMENT TO V5.6 - THIS DOESN'T AFFECT BLEAD, BUT IT
  SYNCS THECODE TO THE CPAN PACKAGES
* FIX ONE PROBLEM ON V5.8.0 IN CALC.PM (WITH 64BIT WIDE MATH)
* FIX ONE BUG IN MATH::BIGRAT IN AS_NUMBER() WITH NAN/INF
* A FIX FOR THE IMPORT IN FASTCALC (THE FIX FROM ZEFRAM WAS DIFFERENT AS
  THE CPAN PACKAGE WAS ALREADY DIFFERING FROM THE BLEAD CODE. HOWEVER, BOTH
  "LEN" AND "LENGTH" ARE WRONG, AS _LEN IS IMPLEMENTED IN XS ALREADY. 

MY CURRENT PLAN IS STILL TO PUBLISH NEW PACKAGES (BIGINT V1.88, BIGRAT 
V0.21, FASTCALC 0.16) WHEN PERL 5.10 IS RELEASED AS KEEP THE PACKAGES IN 
SYCN.


I AM ALSO TOYING AROUND WITH THE IDEA OF REWRITING THE PI CALCULATION CODE, 
BUT THIS ALSO HAS TO WAIT AFTER V5.10.

ALL THE BEST,

TELS

    MOIN,

ATTACHED IS ANOTHER PATCH. BIGINT DOESN'T SUPPORT PERL PRIOR TO 5.6 ANYMORE, 
SO WE CAN REMOVE THE SECTION DETAILING ABOUT BUGS ON THESE PERLS. PLUS, 
BROOT() WAS FIXED ALONG TIME AGO AND IS NOW IMPLEMENTED IN THE LOW-LEVEL 
LIBS.


ALL THE BEST,

TELS
