Perl doesn't support that out-of-the-box, but maybe this can help you: Math::Symbolic - Symbolic calculations - search.cpan.org (First & Third result when searching for "perl symbolic math")

Math::BigInt::FastCalc(3pm)				 Perl Programmers Reference Guide			       Math::BigInt::FastCalc(3pm)

NAME
Math::BigInt::FastCalc - Math::BigInt::Calc with some XS for more speed SYNOPSIS
Provides support for big integer calculations. Not intended to be used by other modules. Other modules which sport the same functions can also be used to support Math::BigInt, like Math::BigInt::GMP or Math::BigInt::Pari. DESCRIPTION
In order to allow for multiple big integer libraries, Math::BigInt was rewritten to use library modules for core math routines. Any module which follows the same API as this can be used instead by using the following: use Math::BigInt lib => 'libname'; 'libname' is either the long name ('Math::BigInt::Pari'), or only the short version like 'Pari'. To use this library: use Math::BigInt lib => 'FastCalc'; Note that from Math::BigInt v1.76 onwards, FastCalc will be loaded automatically, if possible. STORAGE
FastCalc works exactly like Calc, in stores the numbers in decimal form, chopped into parts. METHODS
The following functions are now implemented in FastCalc.xs: _is_odd _is_even _is_one _is_zero _is_two _is_ten _zero _one _two _ten _acmp _len _num _inc _dec __strip_zeros _copy LICENSE
This program is free software; you may redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself. AUTHORS
Original math code by Mark Biggar, rewritten by Tels <http://bloodgate.com/> in late 2000. Seperated from BigInt and shaped API with the help of John Peacock. Fixed, sped-up and enhanced by Tels http://bloodgate.com 2001-2003. Further streamlining (api_version 1 etc.) by Tels 2004-2007. SEE ALSO
