We use Math-Base36 in our company, and recently we found that starting from version 0.09, the module lost support for encoding implicit big int because of below change (see a1faa1d) in lib/Math/Base36.pm

-use Math::BigInt qw(:constant);
+use Math::BigInt ();

So, if we add a couple of tests into 02-basic.t as below,

{
    my $num = '808281277464764060643139600456536293375';
    my $b36 = 'ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ';

    is( decode_base36( $b36 ), $num, 'decode large number (implicit bigint)' );
    is( encode_base36( $num ), $b36, 'encode large number (implicit bigint)' );
}

With older versions they are able to pass, but with >=0.09 it would fail like,

t/02-basic.t ......... 1/35
#   Failed test 'encode large number (implicit bigint)'
#   at t/02-basic.t line 50.
#          got: 'ZZZZZZZZZY84KSWGSWO4KSW8O'
#     expected: 'ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ'
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 35.
t/02-basic.t ......... Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)

This issue caused our code to break when using a recent version of Math::Base36. And we would hope to get back that :constant
Thanks~
