BigInt leading plus sign

[Dave Bazell]

I was using Math::BigInt and found that postive integers have a leading plus
sign: +12345678900000

Is there a way to supress this?

Thanks,

Dave

Can you be more specific? You may have to post some code demonstrating
your problem, as I get no leading plus sign:

Jim 35% perl -MMath::BigInt -e
'$x=Math::BigInt->new("12345678900000");print "$x\n";'
12345678900000

With the following:

Jim 36% perl -MMath::BigInt -e 'print $Math::BigInt::VERSION."\n";'
1.73
Jim 37% perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.6 built for darwin-2level
....

FYI: this newsgroup is defunct. Try comp.lang.perl.misc in the future.
