  Wed May 12 09:15:58 2010 dam [...] cpan.org - Ticket created
Hi, Daniel Kahn Gillmor reported the following bug against Debian's perl-doc package (http://bugs.debian.org/581259): currently, the docs for Math::BigInt contain this example: from_bin() $x = Math::BigInt->from_oct("0x10011"); # input is binary It should probably be: from_bin() $x = Math::BigInt->from_bin("0x10011"); # input is binary (oct -> bin). The typo is also present in version 0.89_01 (shipped by Perl 5.12.0). It would be nice if you could incorporate the fix in a future release. Thanks.
  Wed May 12 09:18:27 2010 dam [...] cpan.org - Subject changed from (no value) to 'small typo in POD (from_oct in a from_bin() example)'
  Fri Sep 10 01:44:30 2010 rafl [...] debian.org - Correspondence added
This has been fixed in the perl core, and will be synced to CPAN shortly.
