Subject: Fails with Math::BigInt >= 1.99
analysis.cpantesters.org alerted me about the correlation described in the subject line. I just verified that on one of my smokers. Downgrading to FLORA/Math-BigInt-1.98.tar.gz makes the tests pass, Upgrading to 1.99 makes them fail. HTH, Regards,

thanks for reporting this. Looks like the "fixes" to _modpow of Math::BigInt 1.99 must take the blame though. I'll wrap it up in an upstream bug report shortly. -Martin

I have submitted a patch for Math::BigInt (in #63237). I'll think of a workaround for Math::ModInt later, depending on how soon the actual issue gets fixed.

The cause of the test failure was a bug in Math::BigInt 1.99. It was fixed in Math::BigInt 1.991. There is no easy workaround, nor should Math::ModInt be used with the broken Math::BigInt version. Future Releases of Math::ModInt will require a Math::BigInt version other than 1.99 as a prerequisite. -Martin

As ExtUtils::MakeMaker currently does not support the exclusion of individual versions of prerequisite modules, I have raised the minimum required version of Math::BigInt for Math::ModInt to 1.991 for now. You can safely use any version of Math::BigInt >= 1.58, however, if the test suite of Math::ModInt reports success. -Martin
