CGI textfield: how to display the big int without scientific format ?	Can't Post

Hi i have a textfield,

print $q->Tr(
$q->td('Start record on page'),
$q->td(
$q->textfield(-name => "first_record_on_page", -size => 80,
-override=>1,
-default=>5000,
-value=>$firstRec)
)
);

I type a number 76600000000554300220011162348 into this field in the webpage,
click "submit" to trigger my perl scripts.

now the webpage gets refreshed, and this field is displayed as
7.66000000005543e+28

is there a way it can display in the original format ?

Thanks !

Add the bigint pragma.

Code

use bigint;

c:\testing>perl -Mbigint -e "$num=76600000000554300220011162348; print $num;"
76600000000554300220011162348

If that doesn't work for you, there are other modules, such as Math::BigInt.
