[perl #126103] [BUG] Rat literal fails for moderately large numerator

[Aleks-Daniel Jakimenko-Aleksejev via RT]

This was fixed in (2016-02-07)
https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/commit/27752615026fe58fe2012825c5f4e55e7412c95a

my $a = <2147483648/1>; say $a # OUTPUT: «2147483648␤»

So it works now, as well as anything bigger:

my $a =
<99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999/1>;
say $a # OUTPUT:
«99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999␤»

my $a =
<99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999/2>;
say $a # OUTPUT:
«49999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999.5␤»
