* Package name : libmath-prime-util-gmp-perl Version : 0.6 Upstream Author : Dana A Jacobsen <d...@acm.org> * URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/Math-Prime-Util-GMP/ * License : Perl (GPL or Artistic) Programming Lang: C, Perl Description : Perl utilities related to prime numbers, using GMP A set of utilities related to prime numbers, using GMP. This includes primality tests, getting primes in a range, and factoring. . While it certainly can be used directly, the main purpose of this module is for Math::Prime::Util. That module will automatically load this if it is installed, greatly speeding up many of its operations on big numbers. . Inputs and outputs for big numbers are via strings, so you do not need to use a bigint package in your program. However if you do use bigints, inputs will be converted internally so there is no need to convert before a call. Output results are returned as either Perl scalars (for native-size) or strings (for bigints). Math::Prime::Util tries to reconvert all strings back into the callers bigint type if possible, which makes it more convenient for calculations. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
