[perl #81016] Document ord("")
The following patch clarifies what ord("") does in pod/perlfunc.pod.
From the current documentation, it's not documented what it does, and one
could guess several different things: returns zero, returns undef, returns
zero with a warning, returns undef with a warning, dies. (There's precedent
for dying: some BASIC implementations give an error if you ask for ASC("")
-- here ASC is their equivalent of our ord function.)

Fix RT 62764: Math::BigFloat->bcmp() fails.
Why: The Math::BigFloat->bcmp() method returns the wrong result when the
exponent is too large to be represented exactly as a Perl numerical
scalar. In such cases, bcmp() returns 0 because it fails to distinguish
between the two exponents.
How: With this fix, bcmp() does not convert the exponents to Perl
numerical scalars, but keeps them as arbitrary precision integers, thus
returning the correct result regardsless of the number of digits in the
exponent.
Test: Two tests added. These tests fail with the old code.
Files:
- lib/Math/BigFloat.pm: New version of bcmp().
- t/bigfltpm.inc: Add two tests confirming desired behaviour.
- t/bare_mbf.t: Increment test count.

Fix RT 25274: Math::BigInt::Calc->_num() overflow.
Why: Math::BigInt::Calc->_num() converts a big integer (in the internal
format) to a Perl scalar. If the big integer is too large to be
represented as a Perl scalar, it might return a Perl scalar numeric
"nan", rather than "inf". The reason is that the current algorithm might
multiply "inf" by "0", giving a "nan" which propagates. The following
example illustrates the bug:
perl -MMath::BigInt=lib,Calc -wle \
'print Math::BigInt->new("
1e999999")->numify()'
How: This fix computes the output in a different way, never multiply
"inf" by "0".
Test: It is not obvious to me how to test this automatically in a
portable way, since Perl has no standard way of stringifying a scalar
numeric infinity. However the desired behaviour is verified manually and
no existing tests fail with the new code.
