overloading allows user-defined behaviors for numbers, such as operations
over arbitrarily large integers, floating points numbers with arbitrary
precision, operations over "exotic" numbers such as modular arithmetic or
-p-adic arithmetic, and so on. See L<perlovl> for details.

+Perl can internally represent numbers in 3 different ways: as native
integers, as native floating point numbers, and as decimal strings.
Decimal strings may have an exponential notation part, as in C<"12.34e-56">.
I<Native> here means "a format supported by the C compiler which was used
12345678901234567 as a floating point number on such architectures without
loss of information.
-Similarly, decimal strings may represent only those numbers which have a
+Similarly, decimal strings can represent only those numbers which have a
finite decimal expansion. Being strings, and thus of arbitrary length, there
is no practical limit for the exponent or number of decimal digits for these
numbers. (But realize that what we are discussing the rules for just the
