Cygwin Perl and Module Math::BigInt

["T.Phan" <tphan@iqrinc.com>]

Hi, 

  I tried to 'make test' on the the Convert:ASN1 and it kept fail at
  place where the Math::BigInt always returns NaN.

  I cut out the segment below and ran it and sure enough, it return
  NaN in Cygwin Perl.  However, the same script return a number in
  ActiveState Perl:

#--------------------------
use strict;
use Math::BigInt;

my $num = Math::BigInt->new(-1 * (1<<24) * (1<<24));

print "$num\n";

exit;



#----- Cygwin perl returns:  NaN

#----- ActiveState perl returns :  -281474976710656



  Any idea how to fix this in Cygwin?  Thank in advance!
