=head1 NAME

Math::BigInt::Scalar - Pure Perl module to test Math::BigInt with scalars

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Provides support for big integer calculations via means of 'small' int/floats.
Only for testing purposes, since it will fail at large values. But it is simple
enough not to introduce bugs on it's own and to serve as a testbed.

Please see Math::BigInt::Calc.
