=head2 Math Library
Math with the numbers is done (by default) by a module called
You can change this by using:
- use bigint lib => 'BitVect';
+ use bignum lib => 'GMP';
The following would first try to find Math::BigInt::Foo, then
Math::BigInt::Bar, and when this also fails, revert to Math::BigInt::Calc:
use bigint lib => 'Foo,Math::BigInt::Bar';
+Using C<lib> warns if none of the specified libraries can be found and
+L<Math::BigInt> did fall back to one of the default libraries.
+To supress this warning, use C<try> instead:
+
+ use bignum try => 'GMP';
+
+If you want the code to die instead of falling back, use C<only> instead:
+
+ use bignum only => 'GMP';
+
Please see respective module documentation for further details.

+Return the class that numbers are upgraded to, is in fact returning

=head2 Caveat
But a warning is in order. When using the following to make a copy of a number,
perl -Mbigint -le 'print log(2)'
perl -Mbigint -le 'print 2 ** 0.5'
perl -Mbigint=a,65 -le 'print 2 ** 0.2'
+ perl -Mbignum=a,65,l,GMP -le 'print 7 ** 7777'
