While syncing the test suits in the Math::BigInt* distros, I came across this bug related to how Math::BigInt works with Math::BigInt::Lite: $ perl -Ilib -MMath::BigInt::Lite -wle ' $x = Math::BigInt::Lite -> new("10000100001"); $y = Math::BigInt::Lite -> new("10000100001"); $z = Math::BigInt::Lite -> new("0"); $x->bmuladd($y,$z); print $x' Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10/Math/BigInt/Calc.pm line 306. Since $x is Math::BigInt, I suspect there is something wrong in Math::BigInt->bmuladd(). The bug exists in older versions of Math::BigInt, but I haven't bothered to check actually how long it has been around.
BTW, $x is a Math::BigInt, $y is a Math::BigInt, and $z is a Math::BigInt::Lite.
