However, it also looks like there's a bug in Math::BigInt.

For me $div (without the int call) is being evaluated as:
200892291601145169018323731364455309894800000000000000000000000000000000....

This appears to be the default 40 digits we get from
Math::BigFloat->div_scale.

It should be:
200892291601145169018323731364455309894845164358819087640439296270563411....

I get this when I use the bigint pragma, rather than bignum.

And % works for me too...with either bignum or bigint.
