The perl one won't work, actually. I mean, besides the obvious reasons, it won't even run. At least on my machine, perl -le 'BEGIN{use bigint}; for (1..1e136) { print $_ . ", "}' fails with Range iterator outside integer range at -e line 1. Which doesn't detract from your post, really.

The first perl solution can not work as the .. operator is not overload to work with bigints in perl. You may change it to: perl -e 'use bigint; while ($i++<1e136) { print $i . ", "}; print "\n"'
