I am trying to subclass Math::Currency to change the default bstr() and
move it to a different function, so my numbers are not formatted by
default (I am unable to just strip existing formatting in a certain
situation).

However any arithmetics fails with an "Unknown round mode ''" error.
Crap, it was all written in the POD of Math::BigInt under Subclassing.
Adding the following globals to the class package solved the problem:
our $accuracy = undef;
our $precision = -2;
our $round_mode = 'even';
our $div_scale = 40;
That's poor planning, in my opinion. Those should be set up as methods of
the object. :(
The idiom:
package Class::Subclass;
use base 'Class';
1;
should be universal, no?
