Then every expression that referenced lazy values would be lazy in terms of them. And once you want to print X digits of the lazy answer, you have to go back through the lazy values and caluclate to what precision you need them. This is a job for a sophisticated mathematics library, not for standard Perl. Perl (5 even) is powerful enough to implement such a thing as a module. Luke
