This enables a trace mode and is primarily for debugging bigint or
Math::BigInt.
+=item hex
+
+Override the built-in hex() method with a version that can handle big
+integers. Note that under Perl v5.9.4 or ealier, this will be global
+and cannot be disabled with "no bigint;".
+
+=item oct
+
+Override the built-in oct() method with a version that can handle big
+integers. Note that under Perl v5.9.4 or ealier, this will be global
+and cannot be disabled with "no bigint;".
+
=item l, lib, try or only
Load a different math lib, see L<Math Library>.
A shortcut to return Math::BigInt->bnan(). Useful because Perl does not always
handle bareword C<NaN> properly.
+=item e
+
+ # perl -Mbigint=e -wle 'print e'
+
+Returns Euler's number C<e>, aka exp(1). Note that under bigint, this is
+truncated to an integer, and hence simple '2'.
+
+=item PI
+
+ # perl -Mbigint=PI -wle 'print PI'
+
+Returns PI. Note that under bigint, this is truncated to an integer, and hence
+simple '3'.
+
+=item bexp()
+
+ bexp($power,$accuracy);
+
+Returns Euler's number C<e> raised to the appropriate power, to
+the wanted accuracy.
+
+Note that under bigint, the result is truncated to an integer.
+
+Example:
+
+ # perl -Mbigint=bexp -wle 'print bexp(1,80)'
+
+=item bpi()
+
+ bpi($accuracy);
+
+Returns PI to the wanted accuracy. Note that under bigint, this is truncated
+to an integer, and hence simple '3'.
+
+Example:
+
+ # perl -Mbigint=bpi -wle 'print bpi(80)'

+=over 2
+
+=item in_effect()
+
+This method only works on Perl v5.9.4 or later.
+
+=item hex()/oct()
+
+C<bigint> overrides these routines with versions that can also handle
+big integer values. Under Perl prior to version v5.9.4, however, this
+will not happen unless you specifically ask for it with the two
+import tags "hex" and "oct" - and then it will be global and cannot be
+disabled inside a scope with "no bigint":
+
+ use bigint qw/hex oct/;
+
+ print hex("0x1234567890123456");
+ {
+ no bigint;
+ print hex("0x1234567890123456");
+ }
+
+The second call to hex() will warn about a non-portable constant.
+
+Compare this to:
+
+ use bigint;
+
+ # will warn only under Perl older than v5.9.4
+ print hex("0x1234567890123456");
