This package attempts to make it easier to write scripts that use
BigInts/BigFloats in a transparent way. They use the rewritten versiosn of
Math::BigInt and Math::BigFloat, Math::BigRat (for bigrat) and optionall
Math::BigInt::Lite.

It's a great way for writing impressing onliners, which is almost enough
to justify any Perl package ;) Here are a couple of teasers:

	perl -Mbignum=v 
	perl -Mbignum -le 'print 2 ** 252'
	perl -Mbignum=a,25 -le 'print sqrt(2)' 
	perl -Mbignum -le 'print 2 ** 0.5' 
	perl -Mbignum -le 'print 2 ** 0.2' 
	perl -Mbignum -le 'print 23->bfac()'
 
Also try the following bigrat's as opposed to bignum:
 
	perl -Mbigrat -le 'print 2/3+5/7' 
	perl -Mbigrat -le 'print 1/3*3'		

More information on how it works and for the other options refer to
the pod documentation of bignum and bigrat.
