[Melbourne-pm] Looking for a (cheap) machine that provides 113-bit precision long double

[Mathew Robertson]

Are you simply trying to get more precision?  or better performance with a
bit more precision?

You could try Math::BigInt, Math::BigFloat, Math::BigRat

Or use GMP ( http://gmplib.org/ )... aka: , Math::GMP,  Math::GMPz, etc.
