Cygwin Perl and Module Math::BigInt

[Heribert Dahms]

Hi Tels,

I don't speak Perl, but in C that would overflow the temporary
expression calculated before it is passed as an argument to new()!
Try: my $num = Math::BigInt->new(-1 * (1<<24)) * Math::BigInt->new(1<<24);

Bye, Heribert (heribert_dahms@icon-scm.com)
