Bug #21412 for Math-BigInt: as_int() and as_number() are supposed to do the same, but don't

as_int() and as_number() are supposed to do the same, but don't

Math::BigInt::VERSION is 1.77 Math::BigFloat::VERSION is 1.51 perl is v5.8.7 built for cygwin-thread-multi-64int According to the documentation, as_number() is an to alias_int() and they should do the same thing, i.e., return a Math::BigInt. They don't: $ perl -MMath::BigFloat -wle 'print ref Math::BigFloat->new("3")->as_number()' Math::BigInt $ perl -MMath::BigFloat -wle 'print ref Math::BigFloat->new("3")->as_int()' Math::BigFloat In the second case, a Math::BigFloat is returned, not a Math::BigInt.

Thank you for your report. I fixed that issue in my local copy, see here for a pre-release snapshot: http://bloodgate.com/perl/packages/devel/Math-BigInt-1.78.tar.gz perl -Ilib -MMath::BigFloat -wle 'print ref\ Math::BigFloat->new("3")->as_int()' Math::BigInt Best wishes, Tels - -- Signed on Sun Sep 10 16:08:18 2006 with key 0x93B84C15.

It looks good now. I am in favour of tests, so some tests should probably be added. Otherwise I suggest this case closed.
