BN for very large numbers ? e.g. 5000!

[MAZZARELLA, RICHARD A [PHR/1005]]

I would like to use BN functions in Perl to calculate very large numbers but
I seem to be limited to 170! or ~7e306. Anything larger than this results in
"inf". Is there a way to extend the allocation for BIGNUM so that I can
calculate larger numbers? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Rich
