Dana replaced popcnt with mpu_popcount_string in Math::Prime::Util v0.62.

I moved the native popcnt to util.h. mpu_popcount_string is a new function to handle bigints or sufficiently magic input without using a bigint library. It's faster than getting Math::BigInt involved until the numbers get over 500 digits. It should be optimized, but it's not exactly the common case.

It's also useful for making sure we don't get really slow for 64-bit numbers on a 32-bit Perl. Not as fast as forcing 64-bit code, but that's further narrowing down the space -- people on 64-bit machines who install a 32-bit Perl.

Using Math::BigInt to handle a long digit string would be something like:

use Math::BigInt;
my $n = "16" x 1000;
say 0 + (Math::BigInt->new("$n")->as_bin() =~ tr/1//);
