$ perl -MMath​::BigRat -lwe 'print Math​::BigRat->new("-10/3")->numify'
-3.33333333333333
$ perl -MMath​::BigRat -lwe 'print Math​::BigRat->new("-10/1")->numify'
10

The latter is obviously incorrect. It's only the numify that's broken;
the BigRat itself behaves as negative if used in arithmetic.

Thank you for your report. This bug has been fixed in Math​::BigRat v0.14
- which was just released to CPAN.

Best wishes,

Tels
