-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Moin, the recent work on BigInt resparked my interest, and there already plans on what to add and improve beyond v1.82. Now, I also had the idea that I would write an article about this, and select a Wow! topic for this, to show that Perl5 is still alive, kicking and can do things that few other software can :-) While I could just post my ramblings on p5p, or stick it on my wiki, it would be better if this was more widely distributed - maybe even printed. If anybody is interested (or knows anybody who might be) in publishing a 3..4 part article with some optimizing/stuff from the trenches inside BigInt, please contact me. The code release will be done so that when the article is written/published people can just hit CPAN, download BigInt et. al and reproduce the stuff the article talks about, e.g. the code will definitely happen, article or not. All the best, Tels PS: I might not be able to reply until Sunday. Sorry about the inconvience. - -- Signed on Wed Apr 11 18:23:39 2007 with key 0x93B84C15.

I had ridden in taxi cab number 1729 and remarked that the number seemed to me rather a dull one, and that I hoped it was not an unfavorable omen. 'No,' he replied, 'it is a very interesting number; it is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways.'" -- G. H.
