incredibly large integers (Fibonacci sequence)

[suicidal pencil]

Out of boredom, I created a simple script that would write out the Fibonacci sequence.

There are no errors, just a nuisance.

The code:

sub allnum
{
	open LOG, ">", "Fibbonacci Sequence" || die $!;
	my $v1 = 1;
	my $v2 = 2;
	my $v3 = 3;
	my $cycles;
	print "1, 1\n 1, 2\n 2,\n";
	print LOG "1, 1\n 1, 2\n 2, 3\n";
	for($cycles = 4; $cycles < 1476; $cycles++)
	{
		print " $v3,";
		print LOG " $v3, $cycles\n";
		$v1 = $v2;
		$v2 = $v3;
		$v3 = $v1 + $v2;
	}
	close(LOG);
}

Notice how I put the number of cycles for the loop to run to at 1476. I'm not sure why, but when I put it at 1480, I get something like this:

 2.78208813961179e+306, 1468
 4.50151316958984e+306, 1469
 7.28360130920163e+306, 1470
 1.17851144787915e+307, 1471
 1.90687157879931e+307, 1472
 3.08538302667846e+307, 1473
 4.99225460547777e+307, 1474
 8.07763763215622e+307, 1475
 1.3069892237634e+308, 1476
 inf, 1477
 inf, 1478
 inf, 1479

Now, can I make it display the integer, rather than just saying 'inf'?
