Parrot does provide a BigInt now, but in trying to use it, I discovered that it has some really strange limitations (then again, I don't know PIR very well, so perhaps it was my fault?) For example I don't seem to be able to invoke modulus on a PMC that holds a BigInt. But assuming that Parrot's BigInt will be expanded to suit general purpose needs, is it Rakudo's plan to use it for Int implementation? -- Aaron Sherman Email or GTalk: a...@ajs.com http://www.ajs.com/~ajs
