Thank in advance! The scalar probably overflowed and returned "NaN" so that BigInt also produced a "NaN". On my Linux 32 bit box it produces the same number than Activestate. What version of Bigint do you have? And what does Perl print without the bigInt->new() around the expression? Thanx in advance, Tels - -- "Why do you go so slowly?
