Math::BigInt is not very good suited to work with small (read: typical less than
|
|
10 digits) numbers, since it has a quite high per-operation overhead and is thus
|
|
much slower than normal Perl for operations.
|
|
|
|
But for some applications, you want fast speed for small numbers without the
|
|
risk of overflowing. This is were Math::BigInt::Lite comes into play.
|
|
|
|
Math::BigInt::Lite objects should behave in every way like Math::BigInt objects,
|
|
that is apart from the different label, you should not be able to tell the
|
|
difference. Since Math::BigInt::Lite is designed with speed in mind, there are
|
|
certain limitations build-in. In praxis, however, you will not feel them,
|
|
because everytime something gets to big to pass as Lite (literally), it will
|
|
upgrade the objects and operation in question to Math::BigInt.
