Hi,
Please don't top post. Please don't use HTML emails. Please reply to the list.
With that out of the way, Depending on your needs, you can use "%s" as
the printf format string, or use simply print:
################ begin code
use strict;
use warnings;
use Math::BigInt;
my $num = Math::BigInt->new("12345678901234567890");
print "Orig string: 12345678901234567890\n";
printf "printf output: %s\n",$num;
print "print output: $num\n";
################ end code
HTH,
