Try changing this:

use Math::BigFloat lib=>"GMP";

To this:

use bigint try => 'GMP,Pari';

See BIGNUM_SUPPORT on CPAN.

    Thank you shadowsong. I tried this on my batch, but it did not terminate after 1 day, suggesting a massive loss of efficiency (it should have completed in 30 minutes). Also some of my results have NaN, so I will have to look into that. But I can confirm the program did not crash!

      hmm, the NaN problem is a known problem when running Strawberry Perl sadly with this particular package - related to the log function

      robert44444uk,

      No problem. I had another crack at it using what I thought would entail slightly less overhead:

      However, it performed just as bad as your attempts using next_prime and prev_prime if not worse...

      We'd be very keen to see how/if you managed to get your script to perform better.

      Best of luck (and God speed)
      shadowsong

        Thank you Shadowsong. I have had to concentrate on work this last week. When this settles down I will have another go at this program.
