Subject: Request for more functionality in Math::BigFloat

I think the functionality you seek is already there:

#############################
#!perl -l

use strict;
use warnings;
use Math::BigFloat;
use Math::BigInt;

my $str = ('987' x 12) . '.123';

my $f = Math::BigFloat->new($str);
print $f;
print int($f);

my $i = Math::BigInt->new('654' x 12);

print $i;
print $i % 1000;

__END__
Outputs:
987987987987987987987987987987987987.123
987987987987987987987987987987987987
654654654654654654654654654654654654
654
#############################

Cheers,
Rob
