Amanda::BigIntCompat -- make Math::BigInt behave consistently

INTERFACE

This module will modify Math::BigInt to hide inconsistent behaviors across Perl versions. Specifically, it handles the following.

stringification

Older versions of Math::BigInt, like the one shipped with Perl 5.6.1, stringify positive numbers with a leading + (e.g. +1 instead of 1).
