I assume we're supposed to take constant time comparison as an axiom?
use Math::BigInt;
use Benchmark qw( cmpthese ) ;
my $x = (new Math::BigInt 2)**(2**16);
my $y = $x - 1;
my $m = new Math::BigInt 2;
my $n = $m + 1;
cmpthese(-1, { large => sub{ $y < $x },
small => sub{ $m < $n } });

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
