With recent debian i386 perl 5.12.4 and its Math::BigInt 1.993, it seems
int($x) > $x
is true for a positive BigFloat, where I expected it to be false, since
int() rounds towards zero. Eg. foo.pl below.
I see int() gives a BigInt but a comparision "BigInt > BigFloat"
apparently doesn't like a fraction part in the second arg. Maybe it
could notice a BigFloat there for maximum inter-operation.
use strict;
use Math::BigFloat;
my $f = Math::BigFloat->new('3.5');
my $i = int($f);
print "f=$f\n";
print "i=$i\n";
print "i > f is '",($i > $f),"'\n";
