I'm strongly against making .base return garbage for bases >36. Polymod returns a list of integers, .base returns a *string* with the number using some alphabet. I don't understand why we want to break this simple stuff so much. However, there are other options: * use some unicode characters. Sadly, circled numbers only go up to ㊿, which is just yet another arbitrary limit. I don't think there are commonly accepted characters beyond 36, so maybe we can … * add a named arg for the alphabet, so that the user can provide any character set he wants On 2017-09-25 02:01:55, elizabeth wrote: > > > On 25 Sep 2017, at 08:21, Aleks-Daniel Jakimenko-Aleksejev (via RT) > > <perl6-bugs-follo...@perl.org> wrote: > > > > # New Ticket Created by Aleks-Daniel Jakimenko-Aleksejev > > # Please include the string: [perl #132156] > > # in the subject line of all future correspondence about this issue. > > # <URL: https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=132156 > > > > > > > Code: > > say 9123607.base(37) > > > > Result: > > base argument to base out of range.
