| Subject: | Math::BigInt 1.77 insufficient |
One more from a Perl 5.8.8 user. Math::BigInt in 1.77 is insufficient.
06virtual.t is crashing in test #204:
execute SELECT CONV('101 0100 1111 0111 0110 1011', 2, 92) using
SQL::Statement
The error is
Can't use string ("92") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at
.../Perl/lib/Math/BigInt.pm line 1232.
The critical difference between my Math::BigInt (1.77) and the latest
(1.997) is in sub blog(), in the objectify() call. In my version, this
fails to transform the number 92 (the base passed from 06virtual.t) to an
object.
