Hello, sisyphus.
Thank you for your answer.

I want to use like
(...snipped...)
my $sb = lstat($file) || next;
next unless (S_ISREG($sb->mode) && $sb->size);
(...snipped...)
$curl->setopt(CURLOPT_URL, sprintf('%s/size=%s/stamp=%s/%s', $cgi_path,
$sb->size, $stamp, $filename));
(...snipped...)
and therefore 15 decimal digits will be enough. Who wants to upload 10TB+ file?
;-)
But for the record who wants to use such large value,

how can I pass $sb->size to Math::BigInt->new() as a string (assuming that
$sb->size is an integer) ?
