I don't recall I ever had to deal with numbers in perl that were too big or too smal for perl but I guess with real engineering stuff people will need very good precision and very big numbers.
In the Matlab tutorial I see it has 16 significant decimal digits in floating point and a range of 10**-308 and 10**308. What can we say about Perl or PDL in this regard? How can we deal with cases when really good precision is required?
