1. printing accuracy
Hello,
I was wondering how to print numbers with precision to lots of decimal
places, like a hundred or so. Is it possible to calculate pi to 100 or
more decimal places and print the result on the screen. All I've been
able to do is 15 places and after that it is all zeros so I think it
rounds it. Is there a way to make it set the default or something to
carry out as far as I want?
Thanks,
Lewis Townsend

At that point I would resort to stringified numbers (see Perl's BigInt and
BigFloat modules for examples). However, this would be a bit slower, and would
also involve writing your own routines.
