string $string to be "1234567890123457123456:test". When I tried using BigInt with floating point numbers like $float, I end up with NaN and then get errors like: Can't locate object method "badd" via package "NaN"... Any ideas on how to do this conversion simply? Thanks. + Richard J

Re: Inheritance of package global variables

in the parent package that is smart enough to do the necessary error validation for all inheriting packages, instead of having a separate specialized 'set' method for each package. This is a real savings since I have a large number of inheriting packages. I have not been able to find a perl module that would allow this sort of inheritance and data validation; does anyone know of one that does this? Or can anyone suggest a better way of doing what I want? + Richard J. Barbalace
